Title: Empty weight of a langstrof hive?
Post by: van from Arkansas on August 26, 2019, 12:36:37 PM
Anybody know the weight of an empty 10 frame langstrof hive with lid, bottom and 2 deeps?  Just approximate weight is all I am looking for, plus or minus say 5 pounds??  No bees, no honey, just waxed out frames hive body lid and bottom??

Thank you.

I use a DSBB, screen top board, Telescoping top,10 frames deep.  This weighs usually 32- 35 pounds.  No foundation or comb.
