Yes, I made 3 such 45 years ago and after 2 years I burned them.Does anyone use the dartington hive? Or know about managetment of it?as the internet is scant on information let alone drawings/plans?
Sorry Pete but they think it makes more room for hives they develop the hive sideways allowing for a 2nd hive above the first.whilst we are on the subject par say what are peoples ideas about a longer brood box?
I have been talking to several beeks on the continant and they are using a 20 framed brood box inside of there bee sheds as this allows more colonies per shed rather than going up wards they have gone side ways allowing a second hive above the first, i personal have never heard untill today that a side ways brood produces more swarms ??
There are already a few beekeepers in the uk that have 20 frame box's.whilst we are on the subject par say what are peoples ideas about a longer brood box?
