Appreciate the diversity and depth of this forum. Been a beekeeper almost 8 years. Live in McKinney Texas. Have anywhere from 6-12 hives depending. Experiment a lot. One top bar, the rest are langstroth. Just built a "longbar" hive with langstroth deep dimensions so I can work it like a top bar and utilize removable frames. Just check my hives. two didn't make it - and three are super strong, the others are doing OK. Hope to contribute more than I take away... so
"have a great day, unless you have made other plans".
