It's actually a pretty nice feeling of accomplishment.

It's easy to buy a Langstroth hive with all the foundations and everything and go to work. It's another thing altogether to build a top bar hive 100% from scratch, capture a wild swarm, get them working your hive and finally finishing with a harvest. It feels great in a "back to the earth" kind of way.
