    My daughter stuck the underfloor foam on the sides a few years ago thinking it would work better. But it worked OK without it and I did not see any difference. I was not allowed to remove it. You can have the table also if you want it.

    I put C/B on the right hive Monday and removed the top super. The 2nd super now look almost empty. The left hive was not that happy. I think it’s because there is not much food around for them. The 2 outside frame were empty. But there are a few capped frames in the 2nd super. So I put a C/B...
