Hello,
I had my bees drawing out foundation and building up numbers in the centre of my national brood box - with the undrawn frames either end. An experienced beek has advised me to move the fully populated frames to one end, and leave only one end for the bees to concentrate on building up.
I have now done this and was wondering what other peoples opinions are on this? I guess my main concern would be the bees thinking they are low on space and buzzing off!
What would you say is best practice here?
