I have been looking at long hives (NOT top bar hives) and wondered from experienced folk who have tried these what is the best frame size (National, commercial, 14 x 12" and what frame numbers are the most suitable for this style of hive. Solid or open mesh floor? I realise that the working length of these hives can be adjusted with a dummy board but obviously one wants to be able to accommodate as many frames as MIGHT be needed - within reason! A straw poll would be most useful with possibly the key property you think it gives you. Thanks for any info.
