Imagine that you are sitting on your deck enjoying the sun on a summer afternoon. You can see the red and green of your tomato plants in your garden.

You can smell the perfume of your flowers in the flower beds just off the deck. And you can hear the buzzing and humming of the honeybees in your garden beehive.

As you watch, you see your honeybees flying from flower to flower, gathering nectar and pollinating your garden and backyard.

You see them take the nectar back to the hive where they are making honey to share with you and your family.

You see them fanning and dancing at the entrance of their beehive, basking in the sun and enjoying good food from the flowers and plants in your yard and garden.

What would you think if I told you that you can build your own beehive for less than a dinner for two at your favorite restaurant?

And what would you think if the beehive that you’ll build is sustainable, bee-friendly, and so easy to use that you can build one in a single afternoon?

Anyone capable of wielding a saw and a hammer will find this guide invaluable – particularly the very clear photographs – and you make it all very easy to follow with step-by step instructions.

I recommend this publication to anyone thinking of building a vertical top bar hive – nothing else I have seen comes close.

The plans were simple and easy to read and they made making the hive very easy. I like the step-by-step photos.

In one weekend (with some interruptions) I was able to make a hive with two boxes. Now all I need is the bees!

Why build your own beehive? There are plenty of beehives for sale on the Internet and from beekeeping supply shops. If you don’t mind paying out over $200 or more for just one beehive.

There are a lot of beehive building instructions available for free… if you can figure out how to use them. Sometimes, you don’t know what exactly what tools you’ll need, or even what materials are the best to use!

Maybe you asked around for help on forums. Maybe you paid for help. Or maybe you spent several hours or days hunting around the search engines trying to find a good beehive that was easy to use and simple to build… and fun for you and your family… only to find that you were looking for something as hard to find as a needle in a haystack.

Because all that searching, analyzing and comparing can get frustrating, and you can run into dead-ends, I understand that you want a simple shortcut to building your own beehive. You want to be able to easily assemble your hive, finish it and install it, and have it ready for your own colony of honeybees.

Thank you so much for the copy of the construction guide, you have done a first class job the photographs and descriptions made the roof construction a piece of cake.

I have just completed my first one and it looks fine, I am now waiting for my first swarm to take up residence.

Your photographs and detailed explanations cover all the angles and make the building of the hive an enjoyable and stress free experience, I am unable to find anything to criticize.

Please feel free to use any of my observations, I am only to happy to help promote this most useful publication and further the cause of the Warre system of beekeeping.

I have to share a secret with…
