I have been thinking about using all 9 5/8 hive bodies for honey and brood
chambers,  I understand this is how the commercial beekeepers manage their
hives.
 
However, using Apistan following the recommended program for Apistan -
strips in Fall and spring prior would mean that one would have to keep
track of the combs that had been exposed to Apistan. Namely, no moving
brood combs into supers used for honey storage.
 
WOuld be interested in hearing opinions as to how others manage honey flow
and box sizes,
