now you all got me confused too what are we measuring? frames total surface? if that, a langstroth hive will have: each frame will be with MAX wax surface 20x42 cm = 840 cm2 (I have just measure one frame) now each frame have two faces : 840x2= 1680 cm2 if 10 frames = 16800 cm2 Why don't we compare volume = cm3 ie. cubic centimetres? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
