hello Jack
well for one bees just build up faster then accross=like in the wild =trees.
and for another I am getting older boxes not getting lite.
I did a study about 2o yrs ago with 2o hives at one location 10 were 8 frame=10 were10 frame and the 8 frame made more pounds of honey then the 10 frame almost 50% more.
and when you stack boxes they don't take as much room in wideth.
