The Bethlehem Poultry Farm. (Esan Safieh). Bee culture in Bethlehem. Closer view showing a honeycomb lifted from the hive. There are three main types of modern hive in common use worldwide: Langstroth hive, Top-bar hive, and the Warre hive. The key innovation of the Langstroth hive was the use of vertically hanging frames on which bees build their comb. The Top-bar hive is so named because the bees draw their comb from a top bar suspended across the top of a cavity and not inside a full rectangular frame with sides and a bottom bar. The Warre hive is a modular and storied design similar to a Langstroth hive. The hive body is made of boxes stacked vertically, however, it uses top bars for comb support instead of full frames similar to a Top-Bar Hive, as a general rule. A beekeeper keeps bees in order to collect honey and other products of the hive, to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.
