I'll be interested to hear what you think about the TBH. I've been reading a lot about them, and they sound entertaining (and CHEAP!) I guess the main problems are that you have to destroy the comb to get the honey out, and if you don't get the dimensions just right, the bees will glue everything together. And then there's winter. Still, I've seen that people make them out of whatever they have around, and they look mighty convenient, size-wise. Well, glad to hear you'll be trying it out. I'll keep an eye on your blog for reports. Hiya Em… I’ll be interested to hear what you think about the TBH. I’ve been reading a lot about them, and they sound entertaining (and CHEAP!)

My neighbors already think I'm the weird chicken lady now (yeah - the eggs are SOOOO much better!!!) . I look forward to seeing how your beekeeping endeavour pans out.
