Be aware different hive types and components will have different weights. Most hives and parts will be roughly the same within reason. If you’re unsure use a empty hive and test the different components, mark the parts with weights + or – for correction later. With supers simply weigh a full one with capped honey and add it to the full hive weight. Before you get close to the combined weight add a empty super on and continue the process. This will greatly reduce the risk of swarms by simply checking weight and adding a super if needed. National hive no roof. Wooden with mesh floor crown board. Winter ready weight on scale 250 kgcm.
