@spangledude Sorry, the hive is a Langstroth and is not therefore directly compatible with BS Nationals. We sell a conversion kit to allow you to introdce bees on National frames from a nuc to these hives but if you already have an established colony on National frames the alternatives are a shook swarm (as shown in the video) or a Bailey frame change. The latter is easy to do if you make up a plywood adaptor so the Langstroth brood chamber fits over the National brood chamber.
hello,
what size frames does the beebox take? Will it be compatible with bs national hive frames?
