Welcome To the JHH Logbook - Sept 2007
The Jackson Horizontal hive is based on the top bar hive design however it has some unique modifications.
September 2007
Due to the veld fire a short while ago I lost 3 hives which unfortunately included the 2 Jackson bee Hives I was basing all of the 2006 Experiment work on as well as one langstroth beehive!
So, it has been agreed that I should begin a Spring Experiment for 2007. By the end of the month I will have started another Jackson hive to compare performance and handling.
If you have any questions about the JH hives be sure to email them to me at info @ beeware.co.za
This is the JHH site for the logbook experiment.
Be sure to check the next insert.
Next, I will be commenting on the further ease of use or otherwise using the JHH as well as the productivity of the colony over a 6 week period. I will also present photos.
