This Top Bar holder I made works great, lets me attach the comb easily. Lots of honey.

Top Bar Bee hive now in place with honey comb and bees. Sadly I was too
late and the numbers were down and no queen and no brood. They have no chance.
We will keep trying.
I put a new top on this water faucet box. It is now a Top Bar Bee Trap.
When the bees move in again, for the third time, I can easily move them into
their new Top Bar Bee Hive.
