Ok I have done a little reading and I am trying to figure out which is better, a round hive or a square one. Everyone has the standard square boxes that stack on top of each other, but I find no one with round ones. Yet I read that the bees will fill up more of the space on a round slate than a square slate. I have read in more than one place that the bees will leave the corners untouched in the square slates, but completely fill the round ones. I am going to build my own hives and just want to find out which is best. I have an idea on how to build the round hive, but if it is not really worth the extra effort then I will stick with the square. I have access to several acers of farm land where I am planning on putting up my hives. It is untouched farm land that hasent been worked for many years. What would be the best thing to plant in the area to help me produce the best flavored honey? Thanks for any and all responces.
