Those would be the German black bees.

odfrank: I like your idea, and I am mulling around your idea in reverse- getting a colony moved out of a Warre and into a Lang.
The OD's of the width dimension are close for my homemade Warres and an 8-frame Langstroth but the challenge is how to weatherproof the additional length if a Langstroth box is stacked below a Warre.
Your photo has me thinking about stacking the Langstroth bodies on top where the problem of the additional length is less of a factor.
Now that is quite a hive set-up- cool picture.Why do I need to have every size of hive?
