The full-depth hive body is 9 5⁄8 inches high. In our hive, we are using a full-depth hive body as our brood chamber, and this is the most common size used by beekeepers for brood rearing. These large units provide adequate space with minimum interruption for large solid brood areas; most beekeepers use two deep hive bodies to house the brood nest. The full-depth hive body is also suitable for a honey super. However, when filled with honey, it weighs over 60 pounds, making it difficult for some people to handle.
