I can easily find tens of videos of fridge hives.
Must be hundreds of cases not video-documented.
They are a pretty common thing.
I can easily find tens of videos of fridge hives.Not sure this was ever posted here but I just found this aussie guy's youtube channel... and he made a hive in a fridge. He calls it a "top bar" fridge hive but he means long lang. He also refers to Langstroth as "Langsworth" at times. It's cringeworthy, and funny, and bewildering. It is also crude.
It's in five 20 min parts and another where he transfers bees in the hive.

The guy is a good show man. Sure thing!A fridge is a perfect house for a hive no issues there Greg. It's the way he went about it I found interesting.
