New to bee keeping building first hive

[Harley Craig]

I am building my first hive ever, and it's a top bar hive. I have read where some people use1 1/4 bars for brood and 1 1/2 for honey, and others use 1-3/8 and 1-5/8, while yet others just use 1 1/2 for everything. All seem to have some success. I would like to hear from people that have used various demensions and what are the pros/ cons of each.


Thanks,

Harley
