Please excuse the daft question - I'm another newbee at this.
I'm getting a national hive, but I have been warned about how heavy supers can get when they are full. At Stoneleigh I saw the 'half-sized' supers on the Dartington, and I'm wondering whether you can fit two of those on a national, and whether this would be a problem. Being quite small, this may be an issue for me! I am hoping to have a trial with a friend's hive to see if I can lift them, and I'm booked on a training course, but I wondered if this was an option.
Thanks for any advice.
