Out of Curiosity what is the biggest hive (by boxes and/or weight) that you have had in/at the end of a single season?
My big hive this year is at 360+ lbs, 1 deep and 7 medium boxes. I tied it to the fence to reduce the chance of it tipping over. It came out of winter with a deep and 3 mediums. I am not adding any more boxes because it is already to big to work and I don't want to drag a ladder out to it.
