Hey Jim!
Thanks for the article, I've already printed it! I don't know a thing about races!
I went yesterday to a small state beekeeping company to see what they have for sale.
Well, they don't have too much stuff there. I've seen a couple of Warré Hives just on display, a hive and a nucleus. Now, I have been told by a friend of mine that they were Dadants. But in fact, after taking the dimensions, they were to my delight Langstroths!
But they were Full Depth Langstroths with ten frames both the brood boxes and the supers! Can you imagine, full depth supers!? That's all what they have! Even the nuclei are full depth 9.44 inches!
I told my self, don't panic you can have your own 3/4s and shallows in a woodworker's shop! But all the extractors I've seen there are made for Full Depth frames!
It's just incredible!
In my country, beekeeping hasn't done too much evolution like in Tunisia for example. That company I told you about belongs to the state and what they have for sale is the best I could find.
But I'll keep digging maybe I'll find better. At least I can have a brood box with bees!
Ciao.
