Thank you for all of this great information, we can’t wait till spring now to try your TBH design.
Is there any fellow Michiganders out there who have tried TBH’s yet, and if so, how well did you do?

Thanks again,

The easiest way to convert from inch to cm is to take the INCH # in decimal format and multiply it by 2.54. Multiply that by 10 to get MM!

I am interested in building a TBH. I would like to ask how well your bees overwintered this year? Thanks for your plans

I’ve uploaded the drawings that I made to http://www.decieve.us/KTB/
They may be of use to those who are having problems using Google ShetchUp. The drawings are 300dpi 8 1/2″x 11″ images to allow for high quality printing.

I just LOVE your design. I made two hives last year out of mostly 1×6″ cedar and am making a 3rd (at least) using your design this year. I’m trying other ones too, but by far and away yours are the nicest I’ve seen. My son is building his first – a simple KTBH – and his Senior Year he will make one like yours.

The only major modification I did with my hives was to make the roof in two sections – one on either end – to make it a little easier for me to work.

When I share pictures of my hives on different groups (mainly Beesource.com) I get lots of e-mails asking where I got my design. I always give you credit and post your link. Would you prefer I use “Kawayanan” or Sean? You did an amazing job on this design. Maybe some day I’ll master Sketchup.

I truly believe of all the designs I’ve seen out there, yours make the most beautiful hives. Thanks!

[...] This is the design I’m liking the most right now. I love the efficiency of the set up. There is less equipment for start up, and the extractor can be something as simple as a car jack in a small mount. As an added bonus, you get a lot of bee’s wax out of the deal. [...]
