Greetings all,

As I read about "TOP BAR HIVES", I wonder what is the gain?

I can understand the thought behind  "creating totally new untreated comb".

Why would one not just go farther back in technology and use a "GUM"?

Top bar hives cannot be inspected with any ease. Therefore, just use the gum

for one season, "ROB, DESTROY, START OVER NEXT SEASON"?

People are wanting to do all natural, and that, folks, is all natural.

I for one had rather have most of modern conveniences and benefits.

The South is not as far behind as some would like to think.........
