Hey everyone,
 
Here is my new Top Bar HIve (built for the OCBA state fair last year) that i finally got set up and bees in this past saturday! Check out those "custom" hive supports!!  
 
The first piece of glass for the observation window broke so i had to rush out and get another cut at 4pm saturday afternoon. So I just checked on them (3 days later) and the queen is out and in the 2nd pic ( this is one of four bits of comb they have built.) this one already had eggs in it!! The others have the food.
 
You can see the adjustable (sliding) front door i made them and a boardman feeder option. Caitlins I-pod was gonna die so i had to rush. Next time i will get you a picture of the tray area for the sticky bottom board and window. I also made an insulated lid as well. I hope this coming weeknd is CALMER than last so i can get back to making real legs for it.
 
Hope you enjoy.....everything, but the glass was from waste construction material..well not the bees!
cheers,
Marty Hanks
