I've been asked about building the the following series, I'll try. Building ANYTHING yourself, in my opinion, gives you a lot more confidence in yourself, makes understanding what you are using easier and makes repairs-improvements much easier to consider and accomplish. Here's the site w/the plans....
In my area, building a top bar hive is a little deviant, as all the experienced beekeepers use Langstroth type bee hives. While there is a large following of 8 frame versus 10 frame boxes and small cell bees instead of the more commercially popular large bees the beekeepers I know all want the most ...
This one is pretty exciting. I was fortunate enough to find someone who could teach me about Beekeeping (or as my friend says "bee-HAVING") This is the beginning of what will hopefully be a lifetime activity. Here I take you along from the idea, to the acquisition of materials and the buil...
I just had to show off for a while, my new pile of loot! I picked up another 500 BF of yellow pine at the local mill. Every time I buy this lumber I save $1/BF. So I save $500 every time I buy a load of 500 BF. That's worth the effort! An added bonus is that I know the lumber is not only sourced loc...
With all this rough cut lumber I purchase I save $1/BF (board foot). To put it in perspective, a 10 frame deep takes 4.72 BF of lumber. At retail (lumber yard) prices of $1.65/BF, that's $7.80. At mill cost of $.65/BF, it's only $3 to build the same box. So I can justify putting a little more time i...

My initial observations and comparisons between Langstroth and Topbar beehives. All hives were started from Italian packages on April 21, 2013. All of the successful hives have shown the same calm temperament, and all have good laying patterns. The Langstroth hives are 10-frame mediums, with foundat...

Hex Hive - similar to Langstroth, only the boxes are hexagon, imitating both a hollow log, and the shape of the honey comb. The theory is that this is a more natural setting, thus making more docile and healthy bees. Also, the frames are open, allowing the bees to make their own comb, which will fur...
