How to Make a Bee Hive

The Craftsman Experience welcomes Eric Michalsen and Nathan Sellers of Primitive skills Chicago to teach how to build a top-bar beehive.

They talk about the ins and outs of their hive in addition to rules and regulations associated with owning one.

Afterwards an amateur beekeeper of the Chicago Park District discusses everything that goes into owning bees and how to use an extractor to obtain honey from a comb.

Dose rain get in the hive? It just looks like it would leak and flood the bees.

It's called a Warre' hive, folks. I like them better than the newer versions....

vanishing of the bees.. the pesticides have been made to intentionally kill the bees, if the bees are dead they cannot pollinate the crops, if the crops are not pollinated they will not grow, making way for Monsanto to force us to eat GMO, GE crops, causing disease and death to us all Globally, so far the plan is working. Look up Documentary, The World According To Monsanto, Franken Food. Anything which gives us a chance for survial, the NWO, vows to destroy.
