I am now in my second summer of beekeeping. Started last summer with two nucs and put them in nationals. One colony has flourished and was left over winter with a almost full super (no QE) and I have kept one and a half. Early this season I realized that in the excitement of having my first colonies I made a mistake and put only 10 frames in both brood boxes. Problem is that now I'm really struggling to manage pulling any frames out for inspection. To make matters worse, in the one and a half hive they have also laid a lot of drone down between the BB and Super. At the moment I'm unsure of any option but to hope and pray. Any suggestions other than I should have done my reading.
