For anyone with an interest in alternative beehives, I came across a rather good summary of the Bienenkiste Hive earlier today - which as you will see featured within the 3rd edition of Natural Bee Husbandry Magazine.

Out of curiosity, I downloaded a copy of the first edition of that magazine:
http://nlbeekeeping.ca/data/documents/Natural-Bee-Husbandry-Magazine-Edition-1-Print-LR-1_1.pdf
... but found it too far 'off the wall' for my taste. But - others might enjoy reading this kind of thing.
