how_to_build_a_simple_top_bar_hive – by Phil Chandler (17″ top bars)

Our top bar nucs are built on 17″ bars and fit the Chandler style top bar hive.
How to build a top bar hive – Les Crowder (19″-20″ top bars)
This is a great top bar for a small budget and ease of building. But this top bar uses 20-inch bars and will not work with the nucs we sell. (beware)
