I gather this is all new equipment.  If that is the case, that fact
contributes mightily to the lack of sticking together.  Once frames get
older and the bees have lived in the equipment a few years, then things
start to gum up in any hive. That is not to say that the design and
accurate bee space does not contibute to simpler disassembly.

Anyone who wants to look at the DE hive can see it at
http://www.muskoka.net/~beeworks/bees2.html
...and buy it there too, I believe.
 
I personally wonder if it can live up to its designer's claims in an
independant test.  Whether it can or not, your obvious enjoyment of its
easy handling probably justifies its considerably higher cost when
compared to standard equipment for hobby usage.  I know of others who have
tried it and am waiting to hear their comments.
