New Bee
Late summer last year there was a serious family health problem which meant bees were not looked after or inspected as they should have been .
I had put a second broodchamber on one hive, with only half the number of frames(with drawn out comb), I had the intention of calling at thornes the next day and collecting frames and foundation,
This didn't happen and by the time I was able to think of bees again it was too late in the year to do anything about it.
They have all survived the winter, flying well, loads of pollen but the hive with half full second broodchamber now has comb glued to the queen excluder (which had been left on) at 45degrees to the frames.
Any suggestions as to how I should attempt to sort this out and when should I do this, seems a little early at the moment, one other thing this hive, glues absolutly everything together.
Any advise would be appreciated
