Top Bar Hive in Western Red Cedar

Top Quality

I got my first top bar hive probably 15 years ago from Bee Thinking. Other than a bit of rot at the end of the legs from ground contact, it is still in good shape. I just purchased my second TBH from Bee Built. I was not disappointed. Bee Built has continued the same high-quality product and has excellent customer care. The customer-oriented staff answered email my questions within 48 hours both prior to and after my purchase. The step-by-step building instructions are easy to follow for even a novice do-it-yourselfer. As you put it together, you appreciate the quality stainless steel hardware and wooden pieces built to last. The high quality western red cedar box looks so rich and beautiful with the tung oil finish. The finished hive itself is very sturdy. I think it is as much beautiful "yard art" as it is a beehive I will be using for years to come. The price may make you hesitate, but the quality of these hives it worth it all around. Based on my previous TBH purchase (and numerous subsequent Warre hive purchases), you will have strong beekeeping hardware that outlasts the less expensive stuff by years.
