I am a newbie to the group, so pardon me if your have discussed this problem recently. After attending a great workshop on TopBar hives and building one, I...
Carolyn, I'd go ahead and try it--I suspect the bees can handle it. I know a beekeeper with hives in Big Sur, and also have worked hives in Carmel Valley,...
Although this is very true, and this is a VERY NICE picture, this is really a remodel of the langstroth hive. Its like a frameless langstroth. In loose terms a...
I'm new to the TBH's, and was wondering if any here might be keeping (or tried to keep) a TBH in a colder area, say the northern tier or Canada. I only have...

Hi, I have been offered some bees the next time the local beekeeper has to remove a swarm. He is a Langstroth guy and when I asked him about top bar hives he...
... That's simply not true, the queen is right smack dab in the middle of the core of the colony. Perhaps it was meant that the queen is kept away from the...
Scot, Thanks for the info. Yes, I think I explained it wrong about the queen excluders. They are keeping the queen from the honey, not the workers. So, the...
Hello all, I am new here and am just reading thru all the past posts to catch up. I am using 2 TBHs and 2 langs at this time. I truly enjoy the ease of the...

I'm new to the list. I've been directed towards top bar hives, in response to a question on another list about working bees in your old age (I'm in my 50s). I...
Hi teri, Jon replied to you about the top bar hives, and I am the top bar hiver he talks to on that list. This list here is a non-list meaning no one really...
I and several other friends started out with top bar hives, and I think they're far better than Langstroths for a beginner- with the exception that it might be...

I am also new to topbars. I have two tbh and two langs right now. I like my tbhs much better. My back will not take the weight of beekeeping normally. I...
