Thanks, i thought i was missing some basic bee keeper knowledge about never using the same frame twice or other weird reason.
I see so many posts about building 1000+ frames
Using 8 frame boxes here (lighter and was guided that way at the start) so one brood box and one super is only 16 frames, so 1000 frames would give me over 62 hives.
That's a lot of hives!
I know that old frames (going black) should be swapped out every other year or so and always keep in mind disease containment when mixing gear etc etc
Even for a commercial bee keeper i couldn't work out why they would need to make so many frames so often.
What about the wax inserts? Do you make your own?
Maybe i should start a new post for my questions... Sorry to steal your post!
