Hi Justin & All
Firstly: I have no experience with gelignite nor jackhammers in
removing frames from a propolized box containing 10 frames. Secondly:
here in Ontario our boxes are made from 7/8" lumber (US boxes from
3/4") making the inside measurements 1/4" smaller and thus tighter
still. Thirdly: I read here on Bee-L some years ago a quote from
Keith Delaplane that, for better ventilation, the spaces between the
frames should be continuous from bottom board to inner cover and I use
9 frames in my honey supers.
