Hi Dusty,
It is the most natural way for bees to be kept,by allowing the Queen use the whole hive,no queen excluder,you get a bigger return of honey,and it cuts out most of winter feeding.
Also all boxes are the same size,used as Brood & Supers,& a more interesting way to keep bees,it also reduces swarming,why use two size boxes/frames when one is much better for beekeeping.

Dear Rusty,
Rose Hives are a modified version of a National but 11/4 inches shorter, all boxes/frames are interchangable,i dont use a Queen excluder,only when i shook swarm,you get very big hives & very little swarming,no swarms last year and a very good honey year,honey boxes are a bit Heavy
