Welcome to Beemaster, IMHO this the best forum. I am old enough to repeat things and most of my friends don't remember, My philosophy : Every thing is true under some conditions and every thing is false under other conditions. This is especially true for bee keepers. EXAMPLE A nephew of mine had several hundred hives and his friend had thousands. I helped them work their bees and they put 9 frames in a 10 frame hive with great success I have tried it a few times and I have the "WONKEST' combs you can imagine. Try swarm traps it is addictive as fishing.
