    I think, for all those people thinking this is so inefficient, that people need to realize that this method requires much less labor and maintenance on the part of the beekeeper in exchange for less honey. I looked into this method and yes - no way to split the hive, no way to easily check on the comb, but it seems like they catch swarms out in the wild on an annual basis anyways. And for those bees in these types of hives already, if they don't leave the hive, they can continue to build their honeycomb downwards so that old comb up top is what's capped with honey to be cut away.

    There might as well be frames in those hives, it looks like the bees build them anyway.
    Compare to Australian stingless bees, that build an easteregg sgaped brood ball, and a set of columns and balls around it for honey and resources.

      @@JapaneseNaturalBeekeeping Yes almost identical. There are two types, the same as the Japanese version, or a mini hive with mini frames. Asian bees are expensive so the mini frame version helps prevent swarming and is easier to maintain. especially in the very cold regions.

      Old beekeepers in Europe believed that it was good omen to make an offering of lemon balm at the entrance of new hives.

      They are hobby beekeepers using a traditional method in a culture different from yours. Their mindset is also different. Your efficiency is not the goal. What they consider efficient and what you consider efficient may be culturally entirely different. And if your bees take an entire season to build the comb in a box then your bees are the inefficient ones.

      Inefficient, maybe, if your goal is maximum honey production, like you get with a Langstroth hive. The Flow, which I gather you are a fan of, is a step further along that route to maximum efficiency, designed to extract as much honey as possible with the least amount of effort. Hives like this one or my personal favourite, the Warré hive, tend to produce less honey per year, in part because comb needs to be rebuilt every year, but that has its own benefits in other areas, mostly for the health of the bees. Letting them build as they would, top down, putting new boxes at the bottom and removing both comb and honey from the top means that old comb is removed regularly. And if, for example, you leave comb in your brood box for too long, detritus builds up inside, eventually leading to poor health for the bees, so you need to semi-regularly remove it and let the bees rebuild anyway.
      Also, it takes bees not all that long to actually build the wax comb. A box of the size shown in the video can be filled in the span of a week or two by a productive colony.
