Its 48" but i have it sectioned off to 14". I was worried that they don't look even with the bars, do you think that is the case?

Some of you may remember me when I started out my top bar give a couple months ago. I wanted to update with this pic. They are already filled their first section and I am getting ready to expand it for them.

Yes. I cut all of it off and replaced the bars with new ones that I waxed on the tip of the bar to encourage them to build on it.

Well I checked yesterday to see if the queen had been released. I had waited for a little too long I think, about 8 days, because I really wanted to make sure she was out. When I opened the hive, I was greeted with good news and bad news. The good news is she was out. There were still a couple...

I got my tbh a couple days ago in the mail!!! Bees are coming over the weekend. So excited!!

How would one compare to one of these: http://www.beethinking.com/collections/warre-hives/products/warre-hive?variant=441204841

What is the easiest type of hive for a beginner?

Oh, thats disappointing. I guess its better than blowing $650. I don't really know a thing about beekeeping so i wouldn't have guessed that. Seems like it would work. But i guess with anything, it is never truly hassle free.

I don't have bees yet but I really would like to get one of these: http://www.honeyflow.com They look great and hassle free. If only they were cheaper!
