Poor construction of hives is one of the factors that adversely affects the establishment and performance of African honeybees reared in top bar hives. The hive entrances of top bar hives were modified and assigned T1 (with one flight entrance on the hive floor); T2 (with one entrance each at the right and left edge of the hive floor; T3 (with one flight entrance at the middle of the hive wall) and T4 (with two flight entrances on the hive wall and right edge of the hive floor). The hives were constructed and installed in May, 2016 in the Honeybee Research Centre of the Department of Zoology, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Each hive treatment was replicated three times in a completely randomized design. Colonization rates, hive and ambient temperature as well as relative humidity, colony strength, and absconding rates were monitored and recorded. The results revealed that T4 had the highest temperature (30.63ºC) while treatment 2 had the least (30.13±1.24ºC). There was no significant differences in temperature among the treatments. Relative humidity inside hive significantly varied among treatments. T3 had the highest (77.94%) and the lowest (75.04%) RH was recorded in T1. The temperature variation was highest in T4 (7.77ºC) while the lowest in T2 (4.10ºC). The relative humidity variation was highest in T2 (24.12%) while the lowest in T3 (18.41%). Colonization rate was the highest in T3 and 4 (66.67%) while least in T1 (0.0%). The hive treatments did not significantly affect colonization rates. The colony strength of T4, 3, 2, and 1 were excellent, good, poor and zero, respectively. Absconding rate was the highest (100%) in T2 and T3 while the least (50%) in T4. Based on the observations, hive with two flight entrances on the hive wall and right edge of the hive floor (T4) showed better performance to the colony trapped, strength increment and reduce absconding rate of honeybees. However, strategies should be adopted in advance by beekeepers to prevent absconding of bees.
