Thank you so much! :hugs
I've heard of it, and thought the same you do, already found some frames with great prices the time when I started to think about it, but I did some searching on it, and I found that it makes communication impossible for them inside, as plastic is not a 'living' thing, and breaks their messages to the other side of the combs.:(
Also the wax is important to me, that I can't get with a flow hive.:) I need it to make candles, because I don't want to use electricity later, when I build my final house, but I might need light sometimes:) With a top bar hive, there is no frame or bases, the whole comb is built by them, so I would get more wax even with very small amount of combs stolen from them. (Because I don't want to take too much, maybe one or two, if they still can replace it and only if it's needed at the moment-also in my country they want us to prevent swarming, most of those will be killed, so giving them work will do the trick-, but I plan mostly just take the honey left after the winter season, so they can build new combs, and store fresh food for the next year, also I will want to refresh the nest with empty honey combs every year, so that will get me some honey and wax too by removing the old nest when everyone came out.:D)

Sounds like a plan. I didn't know if those had been advertised in your country or not. I look forward to seeing more posts from you and hearing about all the cool things you are doing.
