Hi Peter and others interested,
Peter, I am in the 1 percent who uses 10 frames in a 10 frame brood chamber.
We are going to try 8 frame for brood chambers.
We sell splits and are thinking that, splitting 4 frames
and leaving 4 from a single story, the hive will recover quickly.
We have been using 5 frame nucs and recovery is slow.
I do not like using 9 frames in a 10 frame chamber. Never have, never will.
Frames are normally mismatched enough that they can only be used as a
puzzle.
Too wide and not consistent enough to match with other frames, such as only
with foundation.
For brood chambers, why would you want wide spacing??
Brood cells are only 5/8" deep and this has too large spacing.
Selling splits with regular spacing gives uniformity to the split.
Thanks,
Lionel
