your wish is my command:

[http://forum.honeyflow.com/t/my-new-5-frame-complete-hives-and-observation-hive-hot-wax-dipped-and-full-of-bees/9004/12](http://forum.honeyflow.com/t/my-new-5-frame-complete-hives-and-observation-hive-hot-wax-dipped-and-full-of-bees/9004/12)

You could use medium frames - and still have a one sized/roofed box- if you had a ‘spacer’ sitting underneath the medium frames. Or - thinking about it- you could go with a design like your one above- but instead of having the flow end sticking up higher than the rest- have it hanging down below- and flush at the top? That way when you cut the rebates for the frame rest you would just make a single cut all the way along.

In about one week- I should be ready to post photos of my complete hive here.
