rksmith	Posted - Mar 10 2012 : 2:55:00 PM We have 2 topbar hives but our bees ran off. Since we've gone through 3 packages of bees in the past 2 years we've decided to just buy honey since no one wants to hang around. Anyway, we've been trying to decide what to do with the hives. Today, I've been painting them and will be using them to plant flowers in. I hope to finish painting and plant the flowers tomorrow --I'll post a pic.

FARMALLChick	Posted - Mar 21 2012 : 1:52:50 PM Sorry to hear about your bees. Your recycled hives look great though. Lora If it ain't red, leave it in the shed. www.CountryFriedAcres.etsy.com www.farmallchick.blogspot.com

StrawHouseRanch	Posted - Mar 19 2012 : 6:45:46 PM Hey, that looks great!! You are going to have an awesome little garden there. Maybe you could plant some things for the bees!! I know what you mean about the difficulty decorating the hives. I did some woodburning on the outside of our top bar hives, and I remember getting a real neck cramp from it!

rksmith	Posted - Mar 19 2012 : 5:09:15 PM HAHA...you can see I'm not a professional but I had fun with it. Quite challenging to paint using stencils on an not flat surface!!! I think they turned out ok though. One I did with farm animals and critters on the end, the other has lizards on the end and bugs on the side. On the insides (facing towards the steps) I just did flowers.

rksmith	Posted - Mar 12 2012 : 5:45:26 PM Yeah, someone else around here keeps bees (I've seen their hives a couple miles down the road) and we think they bait for bees and ours took it. Dang it. I did get the primer coat on and will get them painted up purdy this weekend and will post a couple of pics!

StrawHouseRanch	Posted - Mar 11 2012 : 7:25:00 PM I sure hope I don't have to resort to that with my beehives, but that is really an awesome idea!! Paula Farmgirl Sister #3090 Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a Gift. http://www.etsy.com/shop/StrawHouseDesigns
