I've been looking at the poly hives from Modern Beekeeping with the plastic rail to protect against hive tool damage. I wish to buy 14x12 brood boxes and realise that Modern Beekeeping don't make this option.
I realise also that I can use 2 supers to make a deep brood box.
Paynes do however sell a 14x12 brood box .Do polyhives , without the protector rail,such as available at Paynes sustain hive tool damage ?
The question really is whether to go for Modern Beekeeping hives (2 supers) with the protector rail, or Paynes with a 14x12 box and no protector rails?
Thanks all and a very merry Christmas and productive new year.
