My frames are too deep !!

[Mumph]

Hello
Last year I bought a super of frames from an agent working for a large bee keeping accessories company. I bought them pre-made, and have gone to use them on one of my hives and found they are too deep for a national super. They are 6 inches in depth or 152mm, and i can't use them in my national supers. Does anyone know what type of frames these are? I have checked my order and I did order national supers which should be 136mm.

thanks in advance for your answers.

I'm not sure of the answer. Try this catalogue which gives sizes.

Thanks I did look at that chart but couldn't for the life of me decipher it to formulate the size of frames I have been supplied.

A commercial super frame is 152. A national is 140. Langstroth is 136ish. All have different top bars though. Maybe somebody put commercial side bars on a national?

Or maybe it's one of Patrick's 'specials'.
