I was checking hives today and I got to thinking about an ideal hive configuration. I have read that hive configurations are different for different areas.
The man I bought my first hives from used a single deep brood nest and medium honey supers. My grandfathers used a deep (maybe 2, not sure) for brood and shallow supers for honey.
I try to use mediums for everything.
I feel like a single deep for brood with shallows or mediums for honey would simplify things.
Is there an ideal hive configuration?
