Hi Judith, not sure how you went but I have a copy. I can scan it for you if you like.
Email me at Pauli.darren@ gmail.com if you would like me to.

But that book is no longer available. I’m trying to find one to purchase (so that at least I can pay someone to make one, as I am too arthritic anymore), but the only copy I can find is in French, which is not one of my languages. Where can they be found?

The measurements and full instructions can be found in – ‘The Sun Hive’ by Günter Mancke.

Thing is they take so long to make and I don’t think they could be made by a machine.
So if they were available they would be so expensive nobody would buy them.
Perhaps that’s why they aren’t available.

It’s cold and wet here in winter too.
And in summer for that matter!
I overwintered mine by enclosing it in two lifts of a WBC hive and topping it off with the roof. The underneath was protected by the stand. It has come through winter well and the bees are flying strongly now.

I have been doing research into these and, living in Poland, I would need to mortar the Sun Hive if I installed it on my land as the winter conditions are cold and wet.
