Why do people add supers to a long deep (or Dartington)? Why don't they use it just like an ordinary top bar hive with the brood nest on one side and honey frames on the other? Is it that they don't want to put deep frames into an extractor - and would that that be the only reason for adding supers (with the bee-leaking problem)?
Lol if only the bees would see it like that. They seem to store honey differently in a long hive over a vertical hive as they don't store a great deal in a long hive. Move the bees into a vertical hive and keep providing them with space to fill and they will fill it and keep filling providing the conditions are favourable.
