Hi every one

Bob H last mail about how deeper get heavier at one ages and fingers muscles
increase, remind me of an observation I did at Australia a couple of weeks
ago.

There I saw lots of beekeepers using standard langstroth hives in terms of
frame size, but with boxes for only 8 frames.

The opinion received when ask why differ from:

A.- because they are lighther
B.- Because ferals only contruct 7 to 8 combs.

Any other opinions from downunder or anywhere else?
