I’ve been asked to sort out a wild hive for an elderly man a few miles from me
It’s a 2 year old caught swarm in an old hive on double brood box no frames that he just keeps for pollination of his fruit trees
I’ve no desire to go through the brood boxes as they will just have wild comb but I want to put on a couple of supers with frames to collect a bit of honey for him
Problem is the hive size
Bottom brood is 480x480 outside measurements
Top brood is 520x520 outside measurements
What hive is this? Or what super would suit
I also have the option to get supers made up
Thanks
Tony
