I will be testing my horizontal TBH inspired by Dennis Murrell's short Kenya TBH which was made wider and deeper to suit the Lang frames. and I will be testing my new Perone Style vertical hive which is smaller than the original but still wider than Warre.<br />ThanksDusko Bojic aka Che Guebuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04415724704813498090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464357507743517125.post-51151953680228531452012-08-22T10:18:50.692-07:002012-08-22T10:18:50.692-07:00Hello again, and congratulations on the wonderful ...Hello again, and congratulations on the wonderful hive. I did suspect that you had a queen since they were bringing in pollen. A hive without a queen may bring in some pollen, but a hive that is not bringing in pollen when the others around it are is a good indicator of a queenless condition.<br /><br />The brood pattern looks very nice so I suspect this hive will perform well next year. I have been following your adventures and comparing them to mine. I am moving over slowly to what Dennis Murrell calls a Long Langstroth. I use a combination of existing comb, empty frames and a new style of top bar I have developed for langstroth style hive bodies. I will get a picture to you this winter when the work on our small farm allows a bit more time on the internet. :-) Keep up the excellent work. johnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040714285001025794noreply@blogger.com
