I live in QLD and by law I have to have frames in my hive. I have no building skills and was thinking of using 2 or 3 lang bodies joined horizontally, with frames, carpet on top then a roof for each section. The reason i want to go horizontal is ease of checking for honey and brood, no lifting, no bumping. BUT I have 2 pro beek friends who keep telling me it won't work, but no reasons. I would love some advice. Would I need to remove side walls completely or just cut out a section so the bees could access each box. Our climate is hot and humid except for the odd day. thanks
