Prayers for Mark.

My dh and I are thinking about bees. We had never heard of the top bar hive. I found plans for diy at http://www.saveourskills.com/downloads/How_to_build_a_TBH.pdf

Okay, a top bar hive is something with which I am more familiar, but the Langstroth hive and frames allows us to spin the honey out with a centrifugal extractor, leaving the wax comb intact to be placed back in the hive. The less time the bees spend building wax, the more time they spend making honey.

Thank you for the link. That was an interesting and very well-done presentation and instructions.

And, thanks much for the prayers.
