Does brood super need to be deeper than honey super or can both be same?

the larger boxes are most suitable for the brood box for laying eggs and they can store more honey for the winter months to survive, as the smaller boxes are more manageable for harvesting the honey as my own preference.

Honey supers are generally smaller only because of the weight they will be when full of honey. Using brood boxes as supers is ok if you can lift 70 - 80 lbs from a height of 4ft...Deeper boxes are recommended for the brood box because of the preference of the bees for that size chamber to rear brood and set up a colony.

Go with the sundown. Caution you will need a deep box, if you have the space place in super pro box and let it do whst it do

I've had bees land, but didn't get inside feeder. Aspects also has a bee guard that fits on the underside of feeding hole. ( Aspects 384 nectar guard tips )

I have these bees too. I don't think so. The problem is where to apply the product. I'd change my response to say that if you could figure a way to put this where they burrow probably.

I'm not sure if same as NLS. I didn't care how much it cost, I just wanted the best for my Bettas....but I was very disappointed....it sank very fast. So I went back to the Hikari brand.

I am an entomologist in southern California and have some knowledge of solitary bees. I have four bee nesting boxes that I put up this year, two of which I made myself with a drill press and old piece of 4x4 redwood. We are in a severe drought so the bees may be having a hard time this spring with few flowers but the "right size" will probably vary depending on the size of the different species of bees that are endemic to each area of the country. Right now, of my three different sized holes, I have bee nests completed in all three sizes. The smallest ones are about 1/4" in diameter and they seem to be the most popular, however, that could be the work of one or two ambitious moms. I think the only thing that somebody can do is just hang up a nesting box and see if the bees like it. Years ago I bought one that was something like pieces of hollow bamboo, very artistically arranged in a teardrop shaped holder. The holes were much larger, (i.e, 1/2" and greater) and that was never used by the bees. But I think if the holes are 1/4" to 3/8", that bees will nest in them if they are living in the area.

I believe that is considered a deep. See http://www.michiganbees.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Hive-Bodies_20110323.pdf

If the superliners use the same andis blade. I dont know if it is possible, maybe you should look more into if the blades are similar.

I attempted goose eggs in my brinsea mini advance. I could barely, barely fit 4 in there. You will have to hand turn them. Plus, once one hatches, you'll need to take it out pretty quickly because they're so huge when they finally get free of the egg. I would definitely do it again.

Not sure about the difference but the SUP version probably has wider supports the supports are at least as wide as my SUPs.

I don't know, I use this in honeybee hives to attract new swarms in the spring.

Yes, I believe the photo on Amazon is correct. I have the Vintage Sunburst and it's pretty. I think the Honeybees will be as well.

It is my husband that is getting into the bee keeping and I bought this as a gift when he showed interest in it. However this is a short box, I think he called it, and after doing a lot of research he said that you have to start with the deeper box and then this is the box that should sit on top after the hive has been established for a year or two. It is my understanding that the deeper box is left alone and that is what the hive lives on and this box is the box you harvest from. I'm sorry, I am not fluent in apiary information, so I don't know if it answered your question or not. My husband set this box aside until next year, and ordered a deep one for the bees that he has coming next week.

My carousel is full at this time and it looks to me like deeper would work just fine. Hope this helps.

I would go with the information you are getting from the Superchips site. Amazon fitment tool is not accurate in the least, I wouldn't trust any of the info that Amazon provides as far as fitment.

I used Bayer Advanced Fruit & Veg systemic as a last resort remedy last season, because all other methods failed. I saw a dramatic difference in all my vegs, berries, & flowers. We didn't have a cold enough winter & every kind of chewing sucking insect was in full force, in swarms! I do not have grapes, my neighbor has a small vine of seedless Thompson grapes in her veg garden, I shared with her the systemic & she saw great results too. This year was another mild winter, so I am prepared for the bug army this year. I am already spraying & watering using the BA systemic. I noticed no difference in bee activity, no dead bees either, I talked to the farmer neighbor who has an orchard & bee hives. He said he has for years used systemic on his orchards & no difference in his bee hives. Hope you have good results as I did.

I had thought the same thing. I have since read that bees only travel so many miles from the hive. I assume that if everything is organic in this range, so would the honey.
