I am a first year beekeeper and a KTBH beekeeper. I was asked to share my experiences with KTBHs with my bee club.
I've included the link to the presentation so if you want to use it by all means, go ahead.
Most all of the clear pictures are of my hives and the ones which are not as sharp are ones I downloaded from the internet. There are mistakes I know, but I tried not to make many. Like the picture with the bread knife is stuck too far into the brace comb (I had to do this to hold the knife as I took the pictures myself).
I also brought in a new KTBH as a display model for people to handle. It was well received especially as there were only three of us in the entire club who had experience with KTBHs. I had never met these two guys before so it was nice to become contacts for each other. I had several people ask if they could come by my place and take a look...which I'm glad to oblige.
I used info from Michael Bush's website, so thank you sir for all your wonderful resources! I have my notes from the presentation, so if this would help someone, I'd be glad to share this as well.
Here's the link to the Prezi website where the presentation is accessible. Hope you like it; I had fun creating it...
