John's review of the Long Hive (with standard Langstroth frames) | Advice from a Beekeeper
In this episode, John tells us all about his newly acquired Long Hive. He walks us through the basics of the long hive construction, and then moves a box of bees into it. It's a pretty simple process if you take your time, and you'll save your back a lot of trouble too.
The long hive John is using is built to hold standard Langstroth frames. Here's some interesting trivia about the Langstroth frame. In 1851, the Reverend Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth (1810–1895), a Philadelphia native, noticed that when his bees had less than 9 mm but greater than 6 mm of space in which to move around, they would neither build comb into that space nor cement it closed with propolis. This measurement is called "bee space". So, now you know where your Langstroth frame gets its name.
Do you use a long hive in your bee yard? What questions do you have about the long hive? Let us know by leaving a comment. We'd love to talk to you!
