Horizontal hives with frames are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America.One of these is the golden hive or Einraumbeute, developed at Mellifera Association in Germany, based on Dadant-size frames rotated ninety degrees. The resulting deep format allows for a vertically uninterrupted brood nest and a deep honey crown that is good for wintering. This book describes modifications to the golden hive to buffer the colony against heat/cold extremes as does a tree cavity. With the help of many pictures, details are given of how to make the hive, followed by highlights of running it untreated for varroa over six seasons. A few other modified golden hive projects are also mentioned.About the authorAfter retiring from research biochemistry to north-west Wales, David Heaf took up hobby beekeeping in 2003. He runs about 10 colonies in Warré hives and several in other hive types. In 2010, Northern Bee Books published his book The Bee Friendly Beekeeper and again invited him to write two other books, Natural Beekeeping with the Warré Hive - A Manual and Treatment-Free Beekeeping, (IBRA & NBB) which they published in 2013 and 2021 respectively.

Att bygga ett hus efter sina egna önskemål och stil är fantastiskt kul. Det är absolut en av de största sakerna man gör i livet, främst ekonomiskt. Men det ska aldrig väga över till att bli en mardröm. Allt handlar om förberedelser, något som jag önskar dela med mig av i denna bok. I samband med byggnationen omges man av många "experter" och proffs men det är alltid upp till er själva hur bra det blir, hur resan blir och att det blir en glädje vid inflyttningen. Likaså kommer mina råd och ifrågasättanden att beskrivas som de bättre men de rätta svaren är alltid era egna efter de förutsättningar och stilinriktning ni själva har. Mina råd ska bara göra det enklare och jag hoppas att vissa påminnelser ger er några aha-upplevelser på er byggresa. Detta är en bok med råd och tips om detaljer, mått och en lista på de vanligaste punkterna man bör fundera på vid planering av ett nytt hus.
