    Hi I hope u are still on this site. Do you have any details of the hives they use especially the large floor.I think the year program with the lady wearing no protective clothing is quite remarkable. Who are the IWF?I am thinking of altering my top bar hives to make the entrance from underneath. KR

    Hi KR68.
    can you still access the German videos as the original site has gone?
    I seem to remember one of the local associations had downloaded them and put up links.

    The hives might have been Langstroth Poly Hives.

    Welcome to the forum btw.

    Hi the hives are Zander - just a tad shorter and shallower than Langstroth.

    Yes, I saw some of that video a few weeks ago. I'll go back and watch it all.

    She's so quick and efficient - the bees are hardly disturbed at all. I did wonder though whether she squashes any bees - does she manage to sweep them all aside with those rapid movements before returning a box to the hive?
