How to Construct Kenya & Saltpond Topbar Bee Hives - Peace Corps Ghana 

Thank you for sharing - informative as I build my first Kenyan hive. And I loved Maggie’s out-takes at the end :-)

Interesting new information. Built 2 Top Bar Hives 2 years ago and will now build a super for them.

I've been using a hand saw wrong all these years never knew.

Thank u all

Has that super actually been tested?

Can you cover the base of the salt pond beehive

Please what is the measurement of the frames? Very educative content ❤

I like the top barhive ,it's nice and simple to construct.how to I hervest the honey 🍯 from the above

Nice idea,i like you sis.I need to make one.what is the spacing of the lower bars to prevent the queen from going to the upper chamber?

Isn´t the reason of a Keyan Hive an easier and friendly treatment of the bees? So, putting a supper on the top, you are loosing that way of beekeping...

How can I get some of the hive

POA for the one

uyyy*o

they gone four times

the american guy speaks english like ghanaian, thats good personal relations. And you guys just helped me . thanks

wow how he cut that lumber straight pa

I've built a kenyan top bar hive. What is the spacing between the top bars in the super landstrom in the lower part?

Come to kenya for lessons,, you are constructing it very poorly..

my teacher would scold me if i will cut a piece of wood like this Kenyan guy cut the wood...he cut it straight ...like it...may i try..be safe to me woods-aw..lol

Very nice and easy

Where is the queen excluder?

Please what kind of wood was used

Thank you🙏🙏🙏 great job 👍👌👏

Bate with what

Thanks for sharing this interesting video. Could you tell me the dimension of the hive? Thanks for your help.

This video illustrates some very interesting and important points, the idea of restricting the size of the hive to avoid discouraging the bees, the possibility of utilizing a super on top of the Kenyan hive, A simple restriction gate at the entrance. I feel like I really learned something. Very well done.

Thanks

1--The clay pot hives are shown at the end of the video but don't seem to be durable enough or big enough for a sustainable beekeeping operation 2--Proofreading the captioning will increase the video being seen by more people across the globe as one is unfamiliar with the pronunciation or diction of the speakers. 3--Instead of using the corrugated metal sheet for the roof in one of the hive designs, wouldn't a terracotta or baked clay roof be better, considering the heat coming via the sun during the day. Also the terracotta or earthenware roof could wick away the excess moisture formed in the hive and its condensation. Excess moisture invites fungal diseases plus terracotta or baked clay is porous and can aid in the natural ventilation of the hive. 4--Ants and other predators need to be guarded against in africa. These preliminary designs would need some thought about pest control too --like being off the ground, having the legs standing in water cups etc. 5--Dimensioning of the designs on a piece of paper would help as a summary of the 2 designs for wooden hives 6--Since the wood used is quite thick, the wooden hives are going to be heavy 7--If the video is being made for training and education purposes, the information must be delivered faster by practicing some public speaking. Right now its a good amateur effort at information delivery but cannot help scale up or improve production efficiency or training efficiency Just some thoughts.

i have a problem with ans distrubing bees stoping doing the work.plse help

how much of a gap is needed between the top bars for the workers to pass but not the queen ?

What was it he was rubbing inside the hive while building?
