divider for hanging section rack?

should have added that --- eggs yes but not as much as i was hoping for... feels like they are slow exspanding

normal advise is too wait three days for them to eat any stores they carried with them, then start feeding, this helps lessen any deisies being transfered to the new hive, dont worry if did not do this too much. keep feeding them for a week or two, over feeding will mean less space for the queen...
