OK but what about honey supers?
I'm picturing this as more of a swarm trap?
This beehive looks like the ancient Minoan's beehive called vraskie or flaskie. In my land in Crete, the beekeepers use this type of beehive until the '70s. I have a replica. I post a link with photo of this beehive in a Ctetan bee yard.

What ever floats your boat. I'll stick to Langs for now.

yes, it's very light and I have it baited, but will also be the hive, will add additional coolers to build vertically
