Does anyone have any experience with or opinions on the relatively new top
entrance hives advertised in Beeculture?  I was intrigued with the design
and purchased one at the OSU Bee School to try .  I set it up last evening
with a split and one immediate concern I had is that the entrance to the
hive is sitting directly under the hive top feeder.  Robbing might be a
major concern though the entrance is relatively small and should be easier
to defend.  Any thoughts?
