This topbar stuff is amazing.

They are both looking awesome. I like the paint job there Tom.

Thanks Keith. That would be the work of my mom the crafty artist.
She's great.

Great pics Tom
Did you build this hive yourself?

I may be interested to have one myself and keep it in my yard.

I'm not quite that industrious. My dad built it and mom painted it. They gave it to me for my birthday last October. I just got bees in it this spring.
thanks,

How does that feeder work Tom? I bought some from Betterbee this year but I have not use them yet. The main complain of those feeders is that they leak and start robbing. How do you like yours?

So far so good. I haven't had any problems and I like the fact that they hold about a half gallon. They're only about $4.00 too.
