An entrance feeder will not fit.

I have one hive that will not accept a standard entrance feeder. I hand trimmed a standard entrance feeder to make it fit. It's not pretty but it works.

I started 9 frame spacing this year to make uncapping easier.

Also I would like to cut down on scratching the low cells missed by the knife.

Crazy how many are trying it too, but I'll add myself to the list of keepers using 9 frames in a 10 frame box. I now have 3 hives, a nuc, and our long hive going good so far.

What about 9 frames in an 8 frame box? They fit.

Not quite.

Not quite.

Gotta have room to work comfortably, the ol' 5 lb in a 2lb.
