I live in Portland, Oregon, built a top-bar hive (trapezoidal), wondering how/if the Flow system would work in that case. The last couple years, I've had to trim normal supers to fit the top-bar hive.
Also, does less interaction/interference with the bees potentially increase their chance for survival through the winter? Have had not the best luck ensuring a warm enough hive or retaining enough food for the bees through the winter here, I think.
