iddee, my apologies, i missed the 10 frames of foundation from your post.
as far as running 9 fully drawn frames in the deep broods, guess i am the one to be different, have done this for years.
10 frame hives vs the 8 frame hive configuration? in langstroth terms, no there are 8 frame hives made vs the 10 frames. when i think of langstroth hives, i think in terms of a 10 framer, not the eight frame hives now made today. i think these are referred to as the *english hives?
(*correction, commonly referred to now as 'garden hive')
and as to what you said moots.....
less frames=less combs=less cells=less laying space=less bees=less honey....not true moots, math doesn't always define bees and let's say i get 950 pounds or more of honey out of 5 or 6 hives with my method, well i will stick to it. as far as shaving frames and squeezing more in....in my HO, shaving frames and squeezing more in doesn't give you what you think you are achieving. if you think those shaved frames moots give you more honey, you are mistaken.
btw if you want to make comb honey with foundationless frames, in a 10 frame langstroth box, or shaving and squeezing an extra frame in, i can tell you this, it's gonna look pretty sad. if you don't make foundationless comb honey and are shaving frames off to squeeze more in, then i wish you well at uncapping these.....
EDIT: i just want to add to this, consider a langstroth 10 frame deep and placing 9 fully drawn frames in, rather than 10....maybe better ventilation and better wintering? not rolling so many bees or fighting to get the frames out? medium supers.....if you have less than 10 frames, say 8 or 9, uncapping these will be easier, and also if you think you get more honey with 10 frames, this is not true.
