If you checkout the Dave Cushman site for BS frame dimensions, the 14x12 frame drawing gives the 14x12 frame height as being 304mm - which sounds right to me. (even though, strictly speaking, 12" = 304.8 ~ 305mm)
However, in http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/nat1412.html the height of the 14x12 box is also given as being 304mm (Wot - no beespace ?). Actually the sums are right, it's the answer which isn't. " 3/10 - stay in after school ... "
But - just before RP is sent to the dunce's corner - checkout: http://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=856
where the brood box height is given as 12.5" - that's 317.5mm - or a 'beespace' of 12.5mm(sic) !!
Now, there's no case for saying the 14x12 box will probably be placed at the bottom of the stack - because it also might NOT be. I'm running a couple of 14x12 5-over-5-frame nuc stacks at the moment (which are brilliant), and am currently making more of them - so need those box heights to be correct (I'm using 313mm for an 8mm beespace). Hence this post.
