“Barefoot beekeeper” is a great nibble! I started my beekeeping adventure reading his book and “Beekeeping for all” by Abbè Warré.
I’ve got two Warré hive and one TBH at the present time.
I suggest http://www.dheaf.plus.com/warrebeekeeping/beeindex.htm too.
Great start point for vertical top bar beekeeping.
Keep buzzing.
