Welcome!
Since you're a top bar guy with some experience, I have to ask you: what advantages does a KTB have over a horizontal Langstroth hive, other than the added cost of frames over top bars? I built a KTB when I was just starting out, but then I put my first bees in a horizontal hive and it worked so well that I never got around to using the KTB.
