    No new posts Environmental issues, GM and pesticides
    The bio-tech companies have been telling us for years that GM is safe for us and for bees. Now they are telling us pesticides are safe, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. Discuss environmental issues here.

    No new posts Projects, research and experiments
    Top bar hives first became popular in modern times due to their use in development projects. This forum is for all 'development projects' and experimental research based on any type of top bar hive. If you want to propose some research that others could participate in, or describe any experiments you are undertaking, here's the place to do so.

    No new posts Abbé Warré and other vertical top bar hives
    The vertical top bar hive pioneered by Abbé Warré is an alternative to the horizontal TBH for those who don't mind some lifting, though much less than for a framed hive. You can discuss Abbé Warré's hive here.

    Surviving feral honeybees may possibly be a genetic goldmine in the battle against pests and diseases. They have after all been here much longer than we have and have survived perfectly well without human help.
