Does it matter whether the Queen is in the top or bottom box? To my way of thinking it's better if she's in the bottom as I only have to check the top box for numerous queen cells. I have two opposite entrances on both floor and crown board to save having to reverse the boxes.
I, too, find the sharing of information very useful. I can chose what bits I will use and what I won't. I think so often, it's not what we say that matters as much as how we say it.....it has to be said in an accessible way!
I had the bee inspector come last week to deal with cbdv in a hive. We carried the hive 50m away, shook out every bee. Reassembled the hive with no floor...he said to repeat it every other day x 3. I didn't get an opportunity to do that, had a look today and am pretty sure there are still...
