Hello,  

Another couple of beginner questions.  If the Landstroh hive design was so near perfection with its space for ten frames, why then are we so often taught to space only nine frames in it?  Does this result in longer cells and presumably then easier frame surfaces to uncap?  Do most pros keep nine, or ten frames in brood chambers?  

Is there any easily available and safe solvent for propolis?  Or wax for that matter?
