| Hi, I am just starting out on my beekeeping adventure. I wanted to know, as you add supers or a new screened bottom board or any new parts, is there a standard size so parts are interchangeable or is each manufacturer a little different? Thanks for your help. I've enjoyed reading all the posts you are all so knowledgeable. |

| Most parts are pretty standard in the US. (Though exact dimentions tend to vary just a little bit from manufacturer to manufacturer) Most equipment is standard 10 frame langstroth, though some use 8 frame. Most of the dealers sell standard 10 frame equipment (Walter T Kelly, Dadant, Mann Lake, Simpsons, etc.) If in doubt, ask. -Tim |

| Not sure about "adding" a screened bottom board. IMO, a SBB is mandatory from day one. If you don't have one, get one. |
