  1. Simple to assemble

    Posted by Leita on 23rd Feb 2013

    Thanks, Matt. We had a grand time unboxing and it was crazy easy to assemble. My husband and I couldn't have built anything better. Heck, we couldn't even get that size wood here if we tried.


  2. Thanks

    Posted by Erwin on 23rd Feb 2013

    I purchased a top bar hive several weeks ago before finding you guys and I have to say that your top bars are much much nicer.


  3. Thanks

    Posted by Susan on 23rd Feb 2013

    Thanks for making these cool hives and for all of your advice. I can see that I'll probably need another one in the not too distant future!


  4. Job Well Done

    Posted by Jesse on 23rd Feb 2013

    Got my hives been meaning to let you know I really like your work. Will be ordering more from you and will tell friends to do the same. Thank you for job well done.


  5. I'll Be Back!

    Posted by Andrew on 23rd Feb 2013

    I just thought I would let you know that my top bar hive arrived in great shape and it's wonderfully put together. I will definitely be visiting your site again!


  6. Thanks for making this so much fun!

  7. I Recommend Bee Thinking

    Posted by John on 23rd Feb 2013

    I got a top bar about a month ago and it was above expectations as far as quality goes. No bees til next year. Well put together unit.


  8. A+

    Posted by Deeanna on 23rd Feb 2013

    I purchased two of your top-bar hives this January, and they arrived in Iowa promptly and in great shape. I am a skilled woodworker with all the tools and machinery, so I could have made my hives. I decided to buy hives from you instead, since a lot of my time is taken up with other work. I think my choice was a good one. The hive design is sturdy and well thought out. Your construction methods are appropriate and strong. And the fit and finish is A+ quality. I also like that you are using recycled wood. Thanks for offering such a lovely product -- your hives have already made my introduction to beekeeping a pleasure.


  9. Update

    Posted by Carol on 23rd Feb 2013

    Our Bee Thinking top-bar hive that we set up in March 2011 is going gang busters... we "enthroned" the hive with a local swarm and the colony has been super healthy and productive ever since!


  10. Easy Assembly

    Posted by George on 23rd Feb 2013

    I want to thank you for offering such an easy product to put together. It really seems like great quality. Assembly was much easier than I expected.
