I received the same email afew days ago, I had written an article on getting my TB hive in our monthly bee club news letter which I send to the Wn club, I did reply and they also sent the news letter to the guy in the wheel chair, I hope I can be of help for him. A TopBar hive would be ideal for anyone in a chair, right height and no lifting. I hope he gets one made, I also gave them the `Barefoot Beekeeper` site.

Jeanette is going to get back to me with dates for early next year and hopefully we can organise a day or 2. A TB in every garden - now theres an idea, I will do my best down this way and further if possible.

How amazing - I am reading the same book !! `Bees` - lectures by Rudolf Steiner that he gave in 1923 - I am enjoying it also, a very different read to all my other bee books.
I agree, we need to start a TB group across the country and put the info out there. At the 2 beekeeping night classes I teach I really push the TB as much as the Langstroth, I am probably slightly biased now ! The chap who made mine could go into business making more, I have a number of people interested, will talk seriously about it to him.
What do you think about getting a group together ? I wrote an article for our monthly news letter about getting my first TB and have had quite alot of interest back - exciting stuff !

I do know about the Biobees forum, have joined but havn`t gone on it as yet. Do you have a TopBar hive ? I am really keen to get a TB group together.

No more progress on the bee co-op but I am keen and so is Jenny I think. I keep meaning to ask friends...What are your thoughts?

At 11:34am on October 16, 2009, Kylie Thomas said…: Lol that's so awesome :) So you have a hive and stuff? I heard about ooooby on a blog I follow, I joined but hardly ever came on, I think it's pretty cool though :) I'm meeting my first ooooby-er this weekend actually!
