I went through the Ol' Langstroth Beehive with a fine-toothed comb and fixed everything I always hated about it. I decided to think way outside the box and this is what I came up with. Commercial beekeepers will hate it. Old school beekeepers will hate it. Haters will hate it... But I love it and I think my bees will, too. I have had beehive improvement ideas swirling around my head for years and I finally had the chance to implement them after losing my bees last winter. I built 6 of these hives and they are all currently filled with bees! Follow along as we all see what happens this summer when things start to heat up!
