My brother and I. Recently built three layens horizontal Hives 28 frames
in doing are studying some people put forth the idea to extend the depth. Of the hive box 3 1/2 inches To accommodate Peat Moss in the bottom of the hive To make Thr hive more like the inside of a tree hollow and control moisture I live here in upper state South Carolina with lots of humidity
I recently read a post about someone saying using Pete Moss it’s not a good idea does anybody have any thoughts on that or experience if I’m not to use Pete Moss do I need to raise the bottom
Floor of the hive or will the extra distance make a difference to the bees?
