Warre hive and Langstroth next to each other

There are no bees in the Warre hive yet. I am building a special bottom board for the Langstroth hive with a hole with the size of warre box in the middle. I will put the Warre hive under the Langstroth and let the bees move in to it without any stress. The Langstroth medium super will be my first harvest which I will give back to the bees.

Warre Hive

This is the first hive that I build, the bottom box is with sliding window. I intend to build all of my boxes with windows from now on. It makes it so much easier and enjoyable to observe and interact with the bees.
