Anyone have queen castle plans....I'm thinking of making some over the winter. I will be using 10 frame boxes.

I don't have any plans but I have some pics of the ones I built just split the box up in 3 equal compartments. I used 1/4 osb for my dividers

How are you accounting for the bee space on the bottom?

DC, How many frames are in each section? I also like the extended dividers, well done.

I made the box 3/8" taller than the 9 5/8 box, each section will hold 3 frames

One thing I would change is entrance on different sides. One of my old boxes I watch bee bees move from one entrance to the other one they where on the same side
