Hello,
I did a search for this question in the archives and could not find an answer...so...
If the ideal size for a bait hive is 40.1 liters, is that empty without frames? Is that with frames or is it with frames and foundation?
If it is with frames and foundation once they are added your volume decreases.
I have 3 bait hives out right now: one that has 6 frames with foundation and one black comb with a lure.
2 supers with one black comb and 3 frames of foundation and lure.
I have read to put in frames to avoid a cutout...Michael Bush said in one thread that they like to cluster in the middle of the bait hive initially....so that says foundation-less frames....any thoughts/direction would be appreciated.
