To start our next discussion, I have the following survey question:
 
How many of  you:
 
a) use one size of box (e.g.; deeps or mediums) for both brood boxes and
supers.
 
b) use one size box (deeps) for brood boxes and a smaller size (mediums
and/or shallows) for supers?
 
Personally, I use all mediums, with three mediums making up the brood area.
 The result is all boxes are completely interchangeable, and are of
manageable weight.  I also always have some drawn comb of the right size.
 The downside is that where the deep users have 20 brood area frames, I have
30.
 
Any other thoughts?
