There should be an reinforcement with a vertical stick in the middle of the topbar. I think its the hight of the wax which is of importans and therefor you can make it smaller at he lower edge. The edge against the topbar will carry less weight/cm and you will have the center of gravity closer to the bar.<br /><br />My hive experiment include a broad and overwintering chamber in form of a ktbh with a volume a bit bigger then Dadant and put suppers on the top with a management including a cut downsplit in the turn of may/june, two weeks before the raspberry and merge again to the heather in the beginning of august.<br /><br />Its a system to try optimizing the honey harvest with a lot of extra options its not place here to describe.
