The perone hive

I need a new hive design to chase after like a need another hole in my head, but after observing the open comb hive for the last couple of months I'm intrigued by the possibilities.

"Perone hive, Natural Beekeeping" (Watch on YouTube)

That open comb hive, by the way, is looking fairly wet, cold, and quite possibly dead this morning after the cold front that moved into the area last night bringing with it cold, soaking rain.
