In the process of building my Langstroth beehive and searching for a swarm to put in it, I ran into a commercial beekeeper who wanted someone to build her a "Top Frame Beehive". Top frame beehives are different from Langstroth hives - I can't tell you whether they're better or worse. I did some research and she and I talked through what she wanted. Based on that, I started building the beehive.
I'm pretty well along - although not completely finished - but enough to share what I've done so far. You can see the build process here.
One thing I thought was interesting was that she wanted a window - and door to close it off - in the side of the hive for educational purposes.
I'm including a picture here of the hive in its present state.
