Switching to Mediums for Brood Boxes
I'm contemplating moving to Mediums for Brood Boxes. Still ten frames. Since I started 7 years ago I did the standard, two deeps for brood and supers on top. Moving all the brood into three mediums, maybe. Is that enough room to have space for Springtime population increases? Doe that configuration survive the Winter well? What do others do?

Yeah I just started last year and went all 10 frame mediums for both brood and supers. It worked out really well. Some of my sons hives are 8 frame mediums so it’s easier for him to lift them. I’m setting up an experiment apiary with one deep and one medium brood configuration. I’ve heard allot of good things from people using that brood setup. I’d say give it a try and see if you like it.
