Bridging between the frames in two boxes is not always because of bee
space. All of our equipment uses the same boxes and until recently the same

space limited - such as during a heavy flow.
 
They also build more of it on plastic frames - my biggest objection to
plastic.  Fred Rossman warned me that the bees tended to glue down covers
over plastic - I found that they also glue together the boxes more often
than when on wooden frames.
