Me neither, Mike. And can you imagine how heavy they would be if you had 12 frames in those suckers. They were not only almost square in the up/down, front/back, but side to side too. Ugh! Not me, thank you. I was just pointing out that things had been done to get us to this point. Just like the way that I feel about TBHs. You want 'em, keep 'em, no problem from me. But they aren't practical for the commercial operators. The follks that aren trying to make a living with their bees. Why don't Dee and Ed Lusby have them?
   
  I inspected a hive in Holmes County, Ohio, about 21 years ago, that was made up of 3 twelve frame medium depth supers. That was enough of a bear. And I was much stronger then.
