OK but what about honey supers?

Listen to others but make your own decisions. That way you own the results.

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.

Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy

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