The practice around here is to use an old, ready for the scrap pile
hive body with a single frame of old comb and frames with 1/2 inch
starter strips of foundation. Good work was done at Cornell as
to placement and size. The hive body is a good size. Ten feet up
is supposed to be good. We just throw them up on shed and garage
roofs with some leveling blocks.
