I have some questions that are really for Michael Bush but I guess anyone could answer it. Micheal I noticed the Kenyan Topbar Hive on your website here
http://www.bushfarms.com/images/KTBH1.JPGDo you screw the sides to the bottom and then pry them back and attach the ends? I was worried about cracking the wood with the pressure that would be caused by prying the boards back.
Do you remember the length of deck screw?
Can you tell me how you make the beveled comb guide?
You also mentioned in regards to the bars:
the brood nest is 1 1/4" wide bars and the honey is 1 1/2" wide bars These bars are 15" longI assume the brood bars go into the middle and the honey on the outside? Also how many brood and honey bars on a 30 bar hive?
Your enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thanks a ton.
