I took these photos of Fred’s first Top Bar hive he and Mike built. I don’t remember the reasoning behind all of the bottom vent holes. The stand is a recycled mount for those whole street mailboxes.

In these two pic's you can see the comb being built out from its very beginning at the top bar.

Can you find Fred?
Up to my elbows in the dirt while being on top of the dirt is a great day!
