Hi there. I'm a new member from Ohio. Just got my bees 3 days ago.
I currently have a Warre hive set on 4 acres of rather populated clover and grass. The areas surrounding me consist of thousands of acres of farmland and a few relatively distanced residential homes. I have tons of trees, bushes, and flowers around my property as well. The hive is about 30 feet from a ditch that usually has a foot or more of water in it. I hope they like it here and stick around a while. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210607/76e4818ad1856e643a313892cb660e20.jpg)

Actually, Alan, when you first join you have to request moderators post a picture for you, as an anti-spam measure, so that trial is still to come. :cheesy:

Alan is doing better than me! I use to post pictures but I apparently did something wrong and have got the resize setting off. I can no longer do it lol. I have talked to our good friend The15Member asking for advice. Even she could not help me... Not her fault but my lack of savy with computers... :oops: embarrassing but true, I am confessing one of my weakness! Computers!!! lol :shocked: :cheesy:

Pegasus,
Welcome to Beemaster.

Hopefully this helps- but this is how I generally post photos in forums. A lot of the rules are strict as far as image sizes and formats go-so I throw whatever I need to an Imgur and link to the album.
You get full-size photos and the forum page loads much faster for everyone. Also, the forum hosting doesn't have to foot the resource requirements to store them all.

Its easy-no need for a log-in, either.
Upload to an album (drag and drop).
Click "Share" to get the link.
Dump link in post.
See photo.
If that's against the forum rules, please reconsider.
I also use a free program call IrfanView.

Resizing to hit file size constraints is easy
You can open a picture, choose "Save As", adjust the constraints in the popup and save.
Voila.

Thanks! My father-in-law made it for me! He gave me two hives in total! Its very nice quality and very natural. I can't wait to grow my apiary.

Thanks pegausblack for your input concerning posting photos. I have been a moderator here for only a short time. I am still in the learning process. If this against the rules, one of the other moderators or administrators will let us know. Thank you for posting this. Again Welcome to beemaster.. I hope you are enjoying, and will continue to enjoy this forum..
Sincerely,
Phillip

My father-in-law says that in all the years keeping tons and tons of hives for his huge blueberry farm, he found the Warre top-bar to be easiest and most natural for the bees.
I definitely understand the benefits of either configuration. That said, I highly respect his input and started with his recommendation.
I plan to make a few Langstroth hives and even try a horizontal hive when the price of wood stops being crazy-and make my own decision. There are definitely a lot more accommodating and standardized solutions for the Langstroth hives available and that's a huge sway so far.
