The Eco-Floor is an attempt to find a better solution for bees than the usual solid floor/mesh floor options for top bar hives, both of which are less than ideal: the solid floor often causing high humidity and poor air exchange; the mesh floor causing too much air exchange and chilling the bees.

This is an "open source" idea - I never patent my inventions, as I believe that anything that may be of wider benefit should be freely shared - and so it is in the public domain for anyone to develop as they please, with the proviso that all subsequent developments or extensions of this idea should also be put into the public domain and freely shared.

You will find a lot of free stuff on my site at https://biobees.com including plans for top bar hives and our international natural beekeeping forum. 

My books, including The Barefoot Beekeeper and Managing a Top Bar Hive (the workshop manual for balanced beekeeping), are available here - https://biobees.com/books.php
