yer, i think its a great idea cuz we dont have varroa, and we are in spring not winter, and its good because its hard to find good second hand equipment for sale, especaially when its all in the states, and you wont beleive this but its actually started raining here in south east qld for the first time in too long.. the honey flow has been slow according to the bigger beekeepers, hopefully this rain will be enough to drench the soil.. and maybe start producing some good nector..
question for aussies,, does any of you guys run top bar hives?? curious
