    10 frame works well for running single brood so I only need to be digging around in one box for inspections. Has made my beekeeping life so much easier since I made the switch.

    Hello,Hello John I really enjoy the 8 over 10 . The only thing as far as parts I see that is limited is pollen traps using the 8’s . Thanks for all your suggestions and great information and most of all is your great equipment. Thanks

    I appreciate the info John. I was debating on what to do. You’re opinion has convinced me to stick with what I already have. Thank you and may you be blessed and prosper

    Sometimes it's handy to have 8F boxes if you collect a small swarm and you can move them into a 10f when they build up

    When I had 10 frame equipment my bees rarely made full use of the outside frames anyway. Now that I'm older 8 frames are great and the bees make better use of all the frames. Just my 2 cents.

      Coming along nicely, but still a LONG way to go! I will be shooting another update video next week!

    10 frame is insane. It's the 'commercial standard.'

    I have 8 frame equipment and am considering going to single deeps. Does that change anything?

    Your audio switches from both left and right to left only after less than 1 minute. Looks like it comes back at 2:22

      Yeah I noticed a change, I'm not sure what that's all about LOL

    I went with 8’s, but now I wish I went with 10’s

    Wish square boxes were common here like Germany. 12 frames or something. Never lift deeps if you manage in singles.

    I see no cons in 8 been using 8s since day 1. it works for me 10 is just very heavy

    • @hillcollc
      @hillcollc  Рік тому

      Yep both are great options, but 8 frame is the best if your main concern is for lighter weight!
