"Maybe I got the OP's answer wrong with my nuc hives set up. It may not be a 10 deep standard hive but the OP is not specific enough."
One brood box topic, is pretty specific! You said you ran 3 brood boxes correct?
"If my interpretation is off then I apologize. "
I don't know how your interpretation could have been off?
"People will give you a hard time because not of who you are but of what they perceived you to be in their minds. "
Your name in itself suggest to Everyone that you are a beepro. Bee pro means a bee professional. Someone who calls themselves a bee pro automatically takes on a lot of responsibility, and should indeed be a bee pro. Right? Is this not how you wish to be perceived? Are you a professional bee keeper? Is this how you make you living? What do you want people to perceive you to be in their minds? I don't understand your statement!!
"About the 60 lbs. bee box full of honey. With equipment and all it sure feels that way although I did not weight it yet. It is heavy though! "
You said that if we don't believe this then try it. Now you are saying that's it's heavy. One persons "heavy" may not equal sixty pounds. Only the scale can accurately give a true weight. Yet you said it weighed sixty pounds, Correct? Not meaning to be hard on you but a pro should be accurate on their statements, correct?
I did however, tell you that I am interested in your 5 box experiment and perhaps if you started a new thread , I would be interested. Someone here did indeed start this thread for you and as I am writing this, you have yet to comment there?
Look it up and tell us all about it, but accurately please. Thanks , Phillip
