[QUOTE="Sailabee, post: 3549, member: 75"] Wild hives in trees are vertical, just like conventional hives. The Auckland Bee Club has a 40 frame long hive that they can add suppers onto, and inspite of having had an AP 2 managing it several years ago, it always failed to thrive like the other full depth and 3/4 hives. It is entirely possible to manage hives by only ever lifting one frame at a time, and having spare boxes to put the frames into. For removing honey, have the container in a barrow, so no need to lift. I have a ramp onto my deck, so can bring barrow to the door at extraction time. [/QUOTE]
