Despite being relatively new to this site, it is clear that there are no shortages of opinions. With that in mind (and a bit of trepidation) I ask the following:
I am trying to redesign the top bar for the Warre Hive. Here in the States it is necessary to have removeable/inspectable frames. The standard warre design does nothing to prevent cross comb. This, of course, prevents removal and inspection - frustrating the State inspectors.
Until such laws can be amended I am designing a top bar with a thin starter strip in hopes that it will help. Any experience with this approach?
If I did this correctly there should be a pic attached.
(One of the legs is designed to be shorther than the other. All my Warres were built with windows so the short leg goes on the window side)
thanks all
