They are almost perfect. Because they are so shallow your hive will need to be quite level, and they will be easy to spill. I would use them if I found them though. I'm using disposable aluminum turkey pans for mine - just the right size for 8 frame hives and about 3 inches deep. 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep would be perfect IMHO.

Keeping the hive level is the hardest part of beekeeping. I was just used to putting hives on top of whatever was around. Buckets, bricks, stumps, whatever. This spring, it took me an hour to level out blocks for some hives.
