I think every beekeeper has thoughts of easy beekeeping with top bar hives.
Seems easier that langs without all the box moving and extra equipment.
Doesn't take long to figure out that bees like to move up, not sideways.
Replacing bees every year in our climate, gets old fast!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. Immediately being told that my interest in top bar hives does not meet with your approval is exactly what I was looking for when I joined. It really makes a new beekeeper feel welcome.
Whenever I meet beekeepers and tell them that I am interested in keeping top bar hives, they very consistently tell me how wrong they think my decision is and speak to me in a very condescending manner. Also, my name is Joseph; not "Joe." I come from a time when people would ask permission to call someone by their first name and only very close people would abbreviate them, and never without permission. Apparently, this is not the right place for me to be.
no offence given. Please
I think you've taken this all wrong,
forgive us our spelling and grammar errors. forgive us, most of us didn't attend collage.
almost none of us will write a book or manuscript, and wish we could.
But what we have done is some thing like what your about to do. and this became a failure for many reasons one of witch is climate.
the top bar hive was developed in Africa a third world country where resources are scarce and the tools to manufacture a complete hive are even rarer.
Please don't take offence. I am as offended sometimes as you.
I am here because I want to learn. short cuts are always needed, if not by him then then the next Guy to read these topics.
any insight I have, will freely pass on. When one doesn't like or find my views helpful, please disregard the advice.
I tell you now I have made mistakes here and any thing comes out comical then it probably was intended to be funny
