New poly hives - to glue or not to glue

I have dropped some honey boxes with honey and box has broken.
I have glued then with polyurethane + screws. They are OK again.

I dont glue mine, just pop them together and then pop them apart for cleaning and storing. Have Swienty and Paradise ones.

I have had swienty hives for about 15 years. No need to glue. None have come apart.

I glued my 1st batch but didn't bother after that as they go together so well I don't think glue is needed and if I ever need to dis-assemble then it will be easier!

Aren't Swi*nty hives moulded as one piece?

Whereas Mod*r* Beekeeping come flat-packed and easy assembly.

Surely no need to glue because they come in one piece? Or have you got a different type to the rest of us?

I have swie#ty Nationals. Perhaps you are both thinking of Langstroth which may well come in one piece.

You may do so that don't glue, but if some box does not keep closed tightly, then glue.

.it i not so difficult.
