What type wood is he using to build the box?

Robert's topbar hive box is coming along.  Would have been done already if it weren't for fence work he's been working on.

Not sure how much I can contribute as I'm not planning on having a hive this year. But I'd love to hear how all of your bees are doing.

I like your nuc box Rob. It will be great to hold the bars while you are working on a hive.

Yes thanks Rob.  Looking forward to seeing where this new hobby will lead.

I built this little guy hoping to pull a divide in a couple of months. Might be usefull to start a package or catch a small swarm, what do you think?
