on the topic, why does this style hive frame not use a space between the frames so it would be easier (I am thinking) and save time to not hurt bees when servicing the hive?

it doesn't use frames or foundation
The space is created by the bees creating natural comb width and bee space..
if the bars are the wrong size there is no crushing as they still make bee space between the combs, but the combs eventually cross over the seam line between bars causing inspection issues

Yeah sorry I meant or was thinking a space along that top bar.
