Hmm, it is this kind..
http://www.bees-on-the-net.com/the-kerkhof-beehive.html

Nowadays the problem is that modern bee colonies are too big to live in that hive.
Colonies are now 3 times bigger than 50 years ago.

It gives no added value in north. It will be a nuisance tohandle and move.

I have thought a similar system to one queen colony. My back do not stand to lift so high heavy honey boxes as they are now. I have planned how to get the hive lower.

I have planned two tower hive where bees have acces to each other towers in several points.

The things dreams are made of.   You know all men are great in their dreams.  So I can only dream of being a great capitalist.
