Hi Bill:
I don't think the size of the cavity is really crucial. I have been in no
shape for beekeeping the last two years, so my hives have been badly
neglected. One thing I have learned from this is that if a swarm is going to
use old bee boxes, they almost always pick ones that are piled three or more
high and prefer ones with an entrance near the top. I think the height is
more important than the volume.
Best regards
Donald Aitken
