>>I'm still fascinated by the pictures of the brood nests and honey  rings.  
Just shows once again how flexible bee behavior is - obviously  brood frames 
don't rotate in nature.

It occurred to me that in nature cells angle up some 13 deg.  In a round rotating frame, do they angle radially out?  Will a queen lay in cells that angle down or to the sides and in between?

It would be nice to hear some independent experience with this hive design in regard to the claims of lower mites and 30-40% (!) higher honey yields.  This hive design as patented so I'd think some data had to be submitted to qualify it as unique.
