TBH comb 1 - Pulling comb out of TBH. I find TBH bees very tame to work with. You wouldn't do this very often with a lang hive.
TBH comb-2 - A nice honey comb from the TBH. One can work comfortably with this hive without protection.
Brushing - Brushing bees of honey comb.
Honey comb - A clean, fully capped comb of honey from the TBH.
TBH hive with viewing window - Note the window build into the side wall of the hive with the sliding board to close it off. Unfortunately the bees have attached the combs to the walls. This however, is quit an interesting view of the inside of some of the cells next to the wall.
Close up of window - Note the different comb thickness.
