Single box beekeeping or not?
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts/practices are re this.
Do the vast majority of Scottish beekeepers keep native(ish) bees on a single National/Smith brood box with standard deep frames? Or are there successful practitioners of brood and half (eugh!) or double brood box beekeeping? Can strains of native(ish) bees fill a double brood box?
For myself I have always used single national boxes with standard frames and found them just about adequate. I've thought about switching to 14x12 frames and if anyone uses them I'd be interested to hear their experiences.
