Super as read optimum bait hive size is slighly larger than national standard, so JB you advocate opening today to fill with foundation ?

People get too hung up about bait hive size - slightly smaller is better than slightly larger and a single brood box size is ample/ideal All my bait hives were about BB size and they've taken loads of swarms. One I built slightly larger never attracted one.
Yes, get in there straight away to fill with foundation.
