I had a lady that requested two horizontal hives with peaked roofs. i just about got them done. so she said when she comes to pick them up we can do a video and show you all how they came out. was a fun build, it used a lot more metal on the roof surface since each side of roof had its own full length metal on it, then i put another section of metal over the ridge cap which covered over 5 inches of roof on each side. it should be a pretty water proof roof.

@@TheRainHarvestergo to Fred Dunn’s KZbin channel. He has a link to his hive plans. With some thought you can incorporate @SilentDeath002 ideas to Fred Dunn’s design , add some of your own ideas and have a unique hive all your own. My advise is draw up your ideas and sit on it a few weeks before cutting lumber because you will make several changes. Changes on paper are cheaper than changes on lumber. I been tweaking my design(based on Fred Dunn’s ) has went through at least 4 changes on paper so far! Good luck!

Personally, I use the business model you are moving to for custom guitars. I don't take orders...I just build them and people could buy my inventory. The coof got me for a good 6 months though and both those and the bees suffered. Gonna build some long langs this time...enough shlepping langstroth boxes around and my top bars are too much maintenance. You have a nice hive design, may you have many blessings with them.
