Just a couple of questions from a newbie. 1.in reference to the original pics, the cross bars didn't cover to cavity in the log so I am assuming that you would space the bars every 4.5 mm all the way across the cavity and do this on each super. 2. There's no entrance, that I could see for the bees to enter the hive. 3. Like I said before newbie here but would really appreciate some detailed instructions if possible. Searched the web and basically found nothing instruction wise. I happen to have a downed hollow tree that's about 34" in diameter and I figure it would make a great hive. Curious how tall each super would need to be. Thanks in advance

Im building in N.W. Arkansas. Thanks for the Quick reply

Hello alll! Hope someone can answer this question. Im building a cordwood home, timber frame cordwood infill, and im considering the rubble trench method for the footing. Everything that i have read says to put a concrette grade beam on top of the trench but these are generally refering to strawbale or cob homes. Im building a stone slipform stem wall and i wonder why would i need a concrette grade beam between the rubble trench and the stem wall. could i not build the stem wall directly on top of the rubble trench. Like i said I havent been able to find any info on the specific combination of building techniques that im using.
