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? William Miller Gaithersburg, MD
