I'm becoming a new beekeeper next month. If a box is 9 5/8" deep and the
frames for it are 9 1/8" tall there will be 1/2" space above and below the
frames. This is 1/8" more than the maximum allowable bee space. People
recommend this size equipment but when I email them this question I get no
reply. How is this supposed to work?
