"Layens type"? https://pcela.rs/beekeeping_Spain.htm
Thanks FD ... that's precisely what they were. Interesting quote in the link "The government is trying to persuade beekeepers to change [from Layens] to either Langstroth hives or Dadant types". It made me wonder whether there were financial inducements and the consequences of our government trying to do the same thought of thing here. Can you imagine the response to Andrea Leadsom saying "Thou shalt use Langstroths" or "Warre and Sun hives are now illegal"?
