If you enter the sub-forum "How to Start Beekeeping", there is a daughter forum there: "Hive Design, What Type?" - which suggests that the focus there is to be upon Hive Design considerations for the Beginner.
However, if you enter the General Beekeeping Forum itself, there are both "How to Start Beekeeping" AND the same "Hive Design, What Type?" sub-forums present there - thus suggesting that the focus of the Hive Design sub-forum is other than that for beginners.
Although I've noticed this before, it only became an issue this morning when I considered submitting a post related to Gallup Framed hives which have been shown to be capable of producing vastly increased amounts of brood together with enormous honey crops - which are hardly topics suitable for a beginner, and yet appear to be very much related to Hive Design issues.
Advice as to where to submit such a post would be very much appreciated.
