So I’ve been modifying my deep hive body to try to get these flow frames to fit. When I ordered them I only got 6 of them for a 10 frame box. Yes, yes..I had no idea what I was doing at the time of ordering but I will make them work. I’m an engineer, damnit!
Finished product:
I added a neat observation window as well so I can pop the side off and look in and down into the hive.
For those wondering, I tried to maintain bee-space on the inside so that they wouldn’t go around adding all kinds of burr comb as they call it. Bee space is approximately 7.5mm or about 0.3”
I know these flow frames are relatively controversial around the beekeeping world...well too bad. I’m going to try to make them work, I’m an engineer, damnit.
That aside, I believe it’s getting close to the time to either have honey supers on or to be adding them. I’ll let you know how this goes soon enough :)
