I have a few questions for you all, What are the bee entrances like on all of your TBH’s. Mine has three large holes drilled on the long side, that I can close down. I didn’t get a good picture of the hole openings. Only of the window that I think is so awesome. In hind sight I should have gotten some photos of the beautiful comb they made so quickly. Anyway, someone mentioned they drilled a small entrance on one of the narrow ends. Also, do you move the bars around much? Do you give them full use of the length of the hive right from the start?
Here is a photo of mine. I placed a captured swarm in it, but something happened to the queen before they could get brood going so I lost the colony. Now, my husband has fastened it to a much sturdier base and I am hoping to move another swarm into it. I was very fortunate to have a swarm voluntarily move into my Langstroth hive, and maybe I can do a split next season with those and put some in my Top Bar....
Thanks,
Toni
