Octagon, nice looking hives, very colourful and beautiful, good job.  Have the most wonderful and awesome day, Cindi
There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold.  The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold.  The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee.  Robert Service

I'll get honey from the older hives in the field, these, i may get 30 pounds or so.
I started one of these hives in May, the other is a hive that I used the newspaper and combined two slow working hives, the new queen must have shookem up because they're going from day light til dark.
