[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 1832, member: 44"] When NZ first went metric, beekeeping equipment faced a lot of issues: thickness, width of the 'new' timber. And trying to maintain that damn beespace... Imagine the permutations/combinations: old box with metric frames, new box with old frames, metric frame above an old frame, old frame above a new frame - and then add in old and new boxes for those last few, too. Trying to find a series of compromises that might actually remain workable. But have a quick scan of this, and you'll see why the 'official' measures were adopted back in the middle 1970s. [/QUOTE]
