[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11882, member: 30"] i'm doing OAE testing at the moment. the issues i can see with a TBH (assuming its the usual one they make) is that the length of the strip compared to the frame. the strip needs to be a fair bit shorter than the frame, which posses an issue if you put the strip off centre. ie if you move the strip sideways a bit, its going to be to long due to the angle of the frame and block the path for the queen to move. the other is size of the strip compared to the brood, it may pay to run thinner strips to account for the smaller tbh frames. realistically, i think your going to have a real hand full with just the beekeeping side of things and the OAE strips will make things very very complicated.
