I have been wondering why we make our hives rectanular. I can understand making 8 frames bodies so hives would be lighter and increase the number of hive bodies that can be filled with a lower number of frames.
Why don't we make hives and frames shorter so that the lenght is closer to the width? It seems like it would be more like a tree. Is there a 'not accepted' box size that Lang did not create that is a non-accepted standard for a square, or more square hive, that some non-common beekeepers who do the un-accepable and use?
