The simple -- & odd-shaped -- topbar hive is both ancient technology & newfangled trend. The "back-to-basics" hive fosters cooperation with honeybees with its less intensive style of beekeeping, while its nonstandard, easily customizable design leaves room for innovation, especially useful in light of today's hardships of imported pests, plagues, pesticides, & environmental alterations. This entertaining, easy to read guide discusses topbar hives -- both their benefits AND their drawbacks -- in a way that's easily understood by those with limited hands-on experience with bees, while also exploring the differences in management for those experienced with standard hives.
