[QUOTE="gino lough, post: 12520, member: 680"] Hello there, yes, that is actualy me and my hive on the photo on the left. I can say that it does save a lot of back pain and bending over, however, it would be a good idea to start off with normal langstroth hives to start with as they are much easier to split, also if you were going to make your own horizontal hive, it would be a good idea to make sure that it is the same width as two or three langstroth oxes as this will allow you to add supers, I made the mistake of doing a weird dimesion and now I cant add supers, but apart from that, it is much easier to work with, it would be a good idea to make a verticle queen excluder so you can keep the queen in a certain place, but the queen normaly dosent bother to lay on more than 11 frames in my hive.
