I was finally able to get together with a homesteading buddy to work on our top bar hives last night. It was a hoot.

We are both now the proud owners of two hives each. Now if I can only get a call for a swarm

We used the Kenya Top Bar Hive design from Michael Bush’s Web site. They are really a cinch to make and are quite affordable. The grand total for my two hives was $35! Not bad if you ask me.
