could you put the bucket right side up, and put removable shelves in it? i saw this instructable, hoping that there would be a way to extract the honey

My idea was to get bees started and leave them in peace, like a wild hive, not to steal their honey I see no way to do removable shelves. It's probably better to do a standard hive. Go for it! The main idea is to get more bees going. Cultivated hives are better than none at all.
