I would really appreciate your comments
A lot is said on the internet about using the same size frame in all your boxes, and a lot of it makes sense to me. To that extent I am going to trial a colony on Langstroth medium boxes only this season and see how they get on.
It got me thinking about doing the same with a National hive, using a brood box as a super. I was just wondering if anybody had experience in extracting National brood frames (Standard) with a tangential (or radial, maybe I should upgrade in anyway) extractor. I was wondering if the foundation would bend when you spin them.
Many thanks
