Here is the link to Bush Farms Website which contains additional information about the KTBH hive and FAQs which may be helpful and will contain far more indepth information than that presented at the FSBA conference. Thanks to all those attending this presentation ~ Dennis
This is basically the same Kenya Top Bar Hive KTBH as found and described by Michael Bush of http://bushfarms.com/beestopbarhives.htm I have built and managed this version of the top bar hive for many years with great success. These are all my own photos and my own experiences with this version of the top bar hive.
My Parts List: Sides (2 – 1x12 x 3’-10 ½”), Ends (2 – 1x12 x 15”), Bottom (1 – 5 ½” x 3’-10 ½” x ¾”), Brood Section Bars (16 – 1 ¼” x 15” x ¾”), Honey Bars (18 – 1x2 x 15”), Starter Strips (34 – ¾” x ¾” triangular chamfer molding x 13”), Cover (1 – 15” x 48” of material and thickness of your choice). Note: 1x12 and 1x2 lumber have dimensions of ¾” x 11 ¼” and ¾” x 1 ½” respectively. You can substitute 1x6 if you prefer not to rip the bottom from 1x12 lumber.
