I continue to use the Dadant "jumbo" frames in about six hives. They are about equal to a brood box and not quite a shallow. I custom built the boxes to fit the frames. Why do I still use them? The frames were part of a large acquisition, and curiously, I thought I would try them. Further, I'm too cheap to not use something that is still usable. If I didn't have them, I likely wouldn't use them. Grant Jackson, MO Where I continue to attempt to overwinter in a single deep/med and on my larger hives, double deeps. **************************************************** * General Information About BEE-L is available at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/default.htm * ****************************************************
