Thanks for the update Phil, very useful for those of us hoping to catch a swarm in the next few weeks. Would be great to see how they're getting on in a week or so!

Great stuff. You should put these vids together in a playlist "Tale of a Topbar Hive" or something :) Looks like that Eco-floor needs a couple of legs or props to hold it in position.

I used tree straps, but they stretch and sag over time. I will probably fit wire straps soon.

Phil, thank you for making so many videos to help other beekeepers. I will be getting a swarm from a friend soon and the bees have started making comb inside the swarm trap. What is the best way to transfer the comb to the top bars?

The best way is to make your swarm trap as a small top bar hive, with 12 bars, and then transfer them one bar at a time.

Phil thank you so much for all the free information it is very appreciated! I have had a swarm installed this afternoon by a local beekeeper and am a total beginner. Shortly after it started raining, he advised me to feed them syrup because of the rain and because the temperature had dropped a little. Do you think I could put a plastic container with syrup at one end or maybe just in front of the follower board as a quick solution?? I do not have the feeder built yet! I listened to them and they seem to be settling in well. Thank you!!

If you feed syrup, do so in a way that does not allow them to drown in it

No frames, will draw comb on the top bar barrier?

Top bar hives are so called because they only have top bars and no frames. they allow bees to build combs without the restrictions imposed by man-made frames.
