Hi Debbie, Glad to hear from someone else having good results with the D.E.Hive.I also tried a D.E.Hive this year and had tremendous results.It was My top producing hive this year ,it was approaching the two hundred lb. mark which was about twenty five percent higher than My next highest producing hive.I plan to use more of these hives in the future.The ease in manipulating these hives has to be seen to be believed,The frames do NOT get propolized to the sides and I do not need a hive tool to work them.I urge everyone to check out these hives for themselves.They were created by David Eyre of the Beeworks in Ontario,Canada.He also has been very helpfull in dealing with My questions,and in ordering supplies from England for Me.Anyone else have good results with this hive ?
