There's the typical ones like the Langstroth hives and there's ones like the Top Bar hives the latter of which is the cheapest to DYI. Top bar hives are normally for when you want to harvest both the comb and honey while the Langstroth is normally just for harvesting the honey. The only main thing you need to know is something called "bee space" so google that up. Also google up some top bar hive designs. Like some people use a big 55-gallon blue barrel cut in half for making top bar hives. 1 barrel = 2 hives.
