tried 8 frames in 3 national supers this year instead of 9, using wide spacers, although i have now realised you can get 8 frame castellations. and I prefer castellations over spacers.
Its been a great success. I think the next batch of supers I make up will now have 8 frame castellations with a 50mm spacing between frame centre points.
It came about after talking to a mate about 8 frames in a super, he had read it in an old new bee keeper book from the 60ies or 70ies. it was quite the revelation.
