Something a little different. Not at all practical for production. Maybe for a hobbyist. It is a cross between a topbar hive and a skep.
Be sure to look at all the pictures at the bottom of the page.

Very nice. Pure aesthetics, I can't see how this is any better for the bees. There is nothing here that can't be accomplished with Langstroth hives.
Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy
