Can't get it to work either. Larry
If you copy the link and paste it into the address bar, delete the second instance of "http//" and then proceed, it should work fine.
It's a form of top bar hive.
Not a bad idea...wonder how well it works.
Looks like a dodgy imitation of a top bar hive. Worthless pile of junk. (in my opinion)
my bad i had modified the link it should work now...pretty unusual
It's simply a modified Lanstroth hive, made longer to hold more frames. Nothing new or unusual about it.
Looks like a horizontal / long hive. I want one. :)
Last year I built one of these hives for myself, and the rest of them are regular hives. The reason why I like this one is because I can inspect this hive in no time. As soon as I open it, I get to see the whole picture, everything is right there in front of me. I also made a little window on the back of it. Great job and you should definitely give it a chance. You can also go to this link and take a look at mine. Beekeeping(End of August) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U6h3aJhzQI#ws)

Hi Ivashka,
I showed my hubby so I could badger him into making me a replica as a trial BUT all he did was go on and on about all the purlins GGGRRRR
Nice set up too!!!
