5 Amazing Natural Beehives

If you are a commercial or a backyard beekeeper, you're familiar with standard frames that allow honeybees to expand and grow their hive in a structured and cohesive manner.

Check out these Five Amazing Natural Beehives below and then try to figure out just how you would extract the honey from each!
