Do any of you just use brood sized boxes for broods and as supers? My rationale would be that everything is the same.
It comes to mind because I ran out of supers this year and used a brood box as a super with new foundation. Other than the super sized super being a tad heavier than normal it worked really well and I now have a box full of lovely drawn out comb to replace old ones in the spring rather than putting in new foundation.
Is the weight thing and or tradition the only reason we have two sizes?
