Hi Randy Pete & All
I use only 9 frames in both my single deep brood chambers and my
medium honey supers. The honey supers because, I am told, that 8 or 9
frames hold more honey than 10. The brood box because with 10 frames,
the frames are often hard to remove. One of the reasons for this
problem is the border. I understand that in the US, 3/4" lumber is
used for hive boxes whereas north of the border, in Ontario at least,
7/8" lumber is used but the outside dimensions of the boxes are the
same as in the US. The inside dimensions here, therefore, are 1/4"
smaller than in the US so that 10 frames are a tighter fit.
