A Close Look At The Abelo 12 Frame Poly Hive

[@dougblease5170]

Just ordered 2 of these hives based on all of Laurence’s commentary on these hives over the last while. Thanks Black Mountain team - I appreciate your library of work. 🐝

@@dougblease5170 My pleasure. I'm sure you will be very pleased with them :)

Would it make more sense to use 14x12 English deep frame or this frame size?

[@AndyS_81]

What frames are you using in the hives? Those didn’t look like standard wooden frames.

[@BlackMountainHoney]

@@AndyS_81 they are the plastic frames and feeders frames

[@AndyS_81]

@ thanks. On the 12 frame boxes would you suggest the use of a dummy board as well?

[@BlackMountainHoney]

@kaediin8542 I find it don't need a dummy board on the 12 frame boxes. 12 frames fit well with 4mm gap to cater for swelling

@ thanks Lawrence, much appreciated. Appreciate the responses and the amazing videos. Picked up 2 12 frames in the Black Friday sales and really pleased with the quality. Looking forward to starting my bee keeping journey with them in the spring 👍🐝
