I tried an experimental setup in most of my supers this year: 8 frames in a 10 frame box.

The idea is the bees will build out the frames more to fill the open space. More honeycomb=more honey. For the most part it worked. I had some monster frames of honey that would barely fit in my extractor. I think I'll try 9 in a 10 next year.

I got some wild looking comb that was great for doing chunk comb honey, a first for me.
