Converting to Layens hives

<< < (2/2)

Occam:
Exciting, looks good. Hope the bees like it as much as you do

Bill Murray:
That looks good Bob.Will be waiting to hear how it works for you, keep us updated. (Shoulda had my glasses on)

The15thMember:
That hive looks beautiful, Bob!  Why did you decide to build it bigger than your first one?

Bob Wilson:
15 Member.
The smaller 14 frames Layens hive was a gift from a friend. With a Layens, the broodnest is on about 6 or 7 frames. That only left about 7 frames for honey.
With my 30 deep frame long langstroth hives, the broodnest stretched through 15-18 frames frames, which only left 10-12 frames for honey.
So, now I will see what the larger 29 frames Layens will do.

The15thMember:
Cool, that makes sense.
