Glen Hive

[Adam]

What about these pics.

Says it takes 18-20 BS Deeps.

According the Dave Cushman, the Anderson took 18 - 20 and the Glenn, just 15 although from ther photo it looks bigger than 15.

I made a couple of 16 frame nationals with the view that there would be enough space in them. They didn't really work so I now have some 8 frame Nationals instead which work much better.

Adam is that using 14x12 frame or something ??

Ok, so maybe i have a project ahead of me to custom build one using Smith measurements seeing as that is what i am currently using. I suppose basically it's just a double brood, but horizontally rather that vertically.

how about 14"x12" frames and a broodbox + super fixed together with the super underneath

Along those lines. But was thinking of tacking 2 broods together giving me a 22 frame long hive.

I have the plans for Rob Dartington's long Deep hive somewhere I never got round to making one,
You could borrow them if you like (and I can find them )

I have 2 old queen excluders and a crown board for a glen you can have, FREE!

Anderson published plans and people modded them as they saw fit. I have seen "Glens" and owned a couple many years ago now which took 15 frames and 20 frames so they were built with what people had to hand and to suit their strain of bee.
