Greetings, I am considering starting at least one top bar hive this season. I have
access to plans and construction techniques from web sources. What I'm most
uncertain about is providing foundation for brood. Should I just dump the bees in
the hive and expect them to construct brood foundation from the starter strips? I
couldn't find any reference on this aspect in the archives.

Thanks, Doug Henry
