measurements for an eight(8) frame Lang box

13 3/4" wide. All other measurements the same as 10 frame.

Thanks, Been wondering about that.

Thanks for the link but I can't open the file.

Various suppliers have eight frame widths from 13 3/4 to 14. Fourteen inches creates a little larger gap than running nine frames in a ten frame super. Consistency from cover to bottom board is all that matters. If you make all your own it does not matter to anyone but you. The bees certainly do not care. A few on these forums get their alarm pheremones flowing like Africanized Beekeepers.

Some are made from 7/8" wood, and are larger on the outside...

Betterbee and MannLake

Betterbee use 7/8" wood for all the hive boxes (wooden) NOT 5/8"

Look at pg. 15 in the 2010 catalog of Betterbee

That's what I meant to type...

I corrected my posting.

Beeks need to be careful when mixing woodenware.
