Hive types in Portugal

[mazzamazda]

Hi, I'm planning a move to northern Portugal next year and going to keep bees I've done some research into hive types and see they mainly use Reversivel
Lusitania, does anyone on here know anything about dimensions/frames etc? I understand one is like a national and the other langstroth, not sure which though

Keep your nationals, flat pack them and take them with you. The just ship the bits you need over.
