An experiment in keeping chemical free, healthy honeybees in a top bar hive.
Welcome
Welcome to my first experiment in keeping and maintaining chemical free, healthy bees. Please note that I am not a cabinet maker or bee biologist. Just some guy keeping bees in a box in the yard. This is an ongoing learning experience, all comments are welcome.

Finishing the top
This is the test fit of the top of the hive, constructed from 1x4 and 1x6 cedar. I also installed a 3 inch vent in one end. The whole exterior has been finished with a mixture of boiled linseed oil and beeswax.
