New Bee
I have ordered 22 frames and sheets for my son's supers, but did not order brood frames and sheets as we were going to lift the frames out, complete with bees and place them into my son's brood box once the bees arrive. Unfortunately, the person we're having the bees from has just rung me and apologised as he'd not sussed that his brood frames are extra deep as opposed to our more usual deep brood box frames. I therefore need to purchase brood foundation (we have a few spare frames) but it only seems to come in packs of 10 and I understand we need 11 frames plus a dummy board. Do we need 11 brood frames or is 10 ok for brood and 11 in each super alright? Also, am I being cynical but is the reason for selling 10s just a vicious sales strategy or am I missing something?
