Hi everybody I am a builder of Warre hives and my prices are much cheaper than you will find in most places. You can check out my hives on Ebay and soon on my website. Fred
Hello Nick!
I have a small hobby website at http://www.beekeepingstarter.com with just basic information about beekeeping, bees, varroa mites and I hope it may be helpful to anyone who is about to start
their own apiary or who wants to try beekeeping out of curiosity like i did.
I would appreciate if you include a link to my site, thanks in advance.

Hello,
This link on your website is broken for Top Bar Hive Beekeeping. Also, could you please add our website under your Beekeeping Organizations.
Thanks,
Debbie Seib
Thanks Debbie, I fixed the link. Your website is just an under construction page, let me know when it’s up and running and I’ll add it to the list.
Hi,

The Thomas Hybrid Hive™ is standardized! Thomas Hybrid Hive™ marries hive types, the Langstroth Hive, and the Kenya Top Bar, with interchange hive TH2 topBARS™. Whether you are rearing brood, transferring brood or placing frames into and out of supers for honey has become easier. A real time and money saver!
Naturally built wax comb on movable and interchangeable TH2 topBARS™ allows for healthier honeybees and cleaner honey.
Love the sight! I have a couple of links you might enjoy. Here is the first ever purely Warré Forum:
