My own experiance is that the amount of honey varies depending on the
type of honey collected during honey flow.Some types are very much
thicker & heavier than others.As to 9 frames vs. 8, I always use ten as
it cuts down on the amount of scur in the super.Not much help, but my own
personal experiance.
