The Upstairs Downstairs Hive system came about after 3 years of research into losses of honey bee colonies in S Oxfordshire, UK.

Bee keepers Guiver and Salbany orif=ginally were looking for a method of closing up hives quickly.

Salbany drilled a hole in a bee hive box and Guiver fashioned a bung to put in it.
