We purchased some 8 frame brood chambers. 
9 frames will just exactly fit in this brood chamber. 
Why?? Spacing is different to the space in 10 frame equipment.

10 frames has 1/2" space on the outside of the outside frames.

8 frames has 3/4" space on the outside of the outside frames.

Why the difference in the 10 frame and the 8 frame??

This would cause toooo much burr comb.
