Hive rotation

[Paulf]

My brood box has its frames at 90 degrees to the entrance. I have relised this makes it a little awkward to do my inspection ( I am very inexperienced) could I rotate it so the are parallel to opening. I can then work from the rear of hive much easier.

Just turn the box around next inspection leaving the entrance the same way.

Cheers

If you happen to have an OMF it makes no difference which way round they are.

It does as far as getting the frames out goes, standing to the side or back.
