Spent a few hours putting together a few bait hives today. In the past we've never used any specific design; empty broods and double nuc boxes probably being our favourite -because they've been available.
This year we are making a few top bar nucs based around the warre idea but not strictly following the 'proper' design.
In future years, as empty broods and nuc boxes become fewer in number this may well become a standard, cheap design for us. The photo is actually of an old modified dadant brood body which just happened to be waiting for some repair work...
