Many are even tempered till you bump or spring something with the hive tool so you don't want things tight
As boxes get older the general build up makes things worse
gwizzie I suppose a lot depends on the bees in the box as well as the box itself
One issue though is that we tend to stick with what we start with
In my case Smith Hives
That's not too much of a restriction but if you say choose Langstroth or something they will be great until you need a frame of eggs or something from a friend with nationals
Making a switch later is so expensive everyone will be trying to make sure you don't have to do that
I've never seen a Paradise hive by the way so can't comment
