Plastic barrel?

(1/5) > >>

Beekissed:
Curious about building a top bar hive from recycled materials and was wondering if one could utilize half of a plastic barrel for the body of the hive?  If so, any considerations for ventilation and such when doing this? 

asprince:
One of our administrators Robo has built one. Here is a link to his site.

Enjoy, Steve

Sparky:
That Robo is a slick cat now!!!  :-D That is so cool to see how the comb mimics the shape of the barrel.

Beekissed:
Exactly the info I needed!  I knew I could count on y'all!  I love this place! 

luvin honey:
Hey, beekissed! Welcome! Yes, when I see that enormous comb in Robo's avatar, I have fantasies of grabbing that hunk of comb and just chomping into it! Can you imagine a honeycomb that enormous?!?
