Why do you need to buy any TBH construction plans? You can get them for free in the net, or simply build your own, the bees do not mind, once you respect the...

Things are slow 'round here! This spring I plan on adding a TBH or 2 to my yard. (So far I have 2 Langs and plan on 2 more this spring, plus any TBHs I add.) I...
... Hello Jeffery; yes this is very slow group. But is not important. I dont have the TBH in this time, in sprig will have too. In the past tense -about 70...
I'd also love to hear more comparisons of the pros and cons of Langstroth and TBHs. Here's my very limited experience: I've had one TBH for 2 years -- my first...
Gina, I've got two top-bar hives, soon more. What I do, when lifting out combs, is gently cut the comb free from the sides of the hive, cutting upward, so that...
Wow, we are actually carrying on a discussion. I am excited!!! I have been interested in TBH's for years. I built one, as was said, with strips of wood in the...
You know, I have seen a few designs where people added a "simplified frame" of some sort to their Top Bars. It seems to me that this would be helpful, but...
I found a TBH page that realy impressed me. It is at http://geocities.com/usbwrangler/ If you have not yet, take a look at the site. He came across a few...
The way I work my hives, I start at the back, and the back bars don't have comb on them. So those are easily popped out, and then there's working space to...
I like that site too. Dennis (the site author) is very attentive to the bees, and very thorough in his investigations. I don't know if he's on this list, but...
I noticed on the Bee Wrangler TBH site that he has plans for an improved TBH,(improved from his last plans) as well as plans for a similar hive, that accepts...
Jeffery, Let me compliment you on the progress of this Thread. Yeah!!! You mentioned the problem of the first comb being "braced in". I have experience with...

Keith, I agree about the website. I do recall there being an email link to Mr. Simon. Perhaps you have to email him. It also appeared that he pretty well...
So is there any reason not to make a TBH with the same dimensions of 2 or three side-by-side Langsroth deeps? It seems like this would give you flexibility of...
Ehhh.....just in between....here I know that we all make mistakes, but we should try and respect the bloke a little that invented that hive once and spell his...
