The beehaus seems longer than a national hive – do bees like building horizontally or vertically?
Bee mostly like to be build circular nests and store the honey above the brood. The beehaus is not a horizontal hive (like a top bar hive). The beehaus is twice the width of a national hive to allow the brood to grow to its natural peak circular size without being crammed in. The honey is still stored above the brood above the nest. The extra length allows the beehaus to be used as two hives or one large colony.
