    • The Gold Star top bar hive - front view.  Made from sustainably harvested cypress, it comes with a light-weight, gabled roof, and sturdy removable legs. The location of the 3 one-inch entrances in the center of the long side of the Gold Star top bar hive means that this is a "side center entrance" style of top bar hive.  This supports the simple hiving of bees in cold weather due to the air space created on the far side of the two follower boards. The Gold Star top bar hive - front view.
