Very good point, it takes less time to brand iron the top bar of ten frames than to brand iron the wood hive box. All good management BEST PRACTICES as this points out, and it makes what is usually misdemeanor theft automatically felony theft in several jurisdictions if the equipment stolen had a registered brand i.e. brandname or regisration number on it. Get the 1 inch or for frames 3/4th inch minimum height all in bold letters like arial block is usually best.
We had no brands on the frames themselves. Bad idea, i now know all too well. Some of my frames say Bragg on them, but very few.
Bragg?
Is that like the Bragg lumber company? They also own large tracts of blueberry land on the east Coast. They have their own bees on the Canadian side, not sure that they own any in the US. It's cheaper to rent than to own.

Bragg as in a now deseased bee keeper who helped me and sold me my first hive Milfred Bragg, formally of Oklahoma and moved to WV.
