TBH for beginner?

<< < (2/2)

Apis629:
I would say that a Top Bar Hive is perfect for a beginner.  Not only because they're easy to make from readily available, and cheap, materials but, they offer a perspective of the hive not seen in Langstroth hives.  In my experience, the bees are less excitable in a TBH (saving the cost of  gloves, a beekeeping jacket, etc).  You won't get the same huge yields of honey but, I don't view that as a necissarily bad thing. They're alot of fun, especially in comparison to Langstroth hives.  Lang hives have perfectably respectable uses as commercial hives or for honey production but, TBHs are just a joy to work.
