“After reading about David Heaf’s modified Warre’ Hive and Ian Rumsey’s Simple Beehive and Beekeeping, and browsing through the material at Phil Chandler’s Biobees site, I wondered if a vertical tbh might be the ultimate natural comb hive.
It’s shape and orientation are a better approximation to the natural tree cavities bees prefer. And it’s modular design provides much more flexibility than does a fixed sized horizontal tbh…”
