Picture donations. Hive types

[dpearce4]

Could any members please donate pictures of the different hive types available.

Im looking for nice quality pics of the different types of hives in use in the uk, preferably with bees entering the hive, plus pictures of the insides (frames). I would like to use these for the local BKA website I manage. I will make sure the pictures are quoted to the person donating them to me.

Thanks in advance

I like the hive identifiers marked in bee-friendly colours on the walls behind the hives. Did they say if it really does reduce drifting in colonies that are so far apart?

They are the entrances to the observation hives inside the building, the one behind the beekeeper is not in use as its sealed.

that's good, do you have a pic of the hive not open, not a problem if you don't as I have a coffin hive in use now so could take a pic of that over the weekend.

Thanks. Now that you've mentioned it I can see the wooden plug closing the entrance.
