2. Horizontal top-bar hive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_top-bar_hive

   The width of the top bars is the sum of comb thickness and one measure of beespace. This helps ensure that bees build exactly one comb per top bar. Most top-bar hive plans freely available on the internet show hives of roughly 1 meter (3') long and between 30 cm (12") and 50 cm (20") wide and high.

   In beekeeping, a Langstroth hive is any vertically modular beehive that has the key features of vertically hung frames, a bottom board with entrance for the bees, boxes containing frames for brood and honey (the lowest box for the queen to lay eggs, and boxes above where honey may be stored) and an inner cover and top cap to provide weather protection.

4. Wax foundation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_foundation

   Wax foundation has some advantages over letting bees build their own comb: It provides a guide for bees to build straight comb. Without foundation, the beekeeper runs the risk of having comb built outside the Hive frame when they start, preventing its easy removal for inspection.

5. Hive frame - Wikipedia

   A hive frame or honey frame is a structural element in a beehive that holds the honeycomb or brood comb within the hive enclosure or box. The hive frame is a key part of the modern movable-comb hive. It can be removed in order to inspect the bees for disease or to extract the excess honey.

6. Hive management - Wikipedia

   Propolis is another byproduct of the bee hive. Certain races of bees are more prone to using propolis. Propolis can be collected on special plastic propolis screens. The tendency of the bees is to use propolis as a glue to seal openings that are too small for a bee to crawl through.

   Painted wooden beehives with active honey bees A honeycomb created inside a wooden beehive.
