That's exactly how I started and it went downhill rapidly from there on. You've done the right thing coming for advice at this stage, I messed up and split them mixing up methods in my head. I'm getting sorted now with some excellent advice from one source only.
Yes. Me too
No - the best thing to do if you can't find her
nothing wrong so far
You don't have to make a top entrance - it just saves having a load of newly emerged drones desperate to go clubbing, just be prepared every time you do open up to be met with a load of drones making a quick getaway
Nothing wrong with anything you've done thus far
why do you move capped rather than eggs/larvae Dani?
So that you don’t t have queen cells being made
when i have 'rolled' i tend to move full frames of eggs up and knock any QCs back, but if you are remaining vigilant about QCs or wanting them, moving eggs/larvae is fine...
taking a leaf out of Dani and JBM book, i use a rolling demaree and works a treat....in terms of which entrance though, I certainly havent been able to tell much difference, they have both been crazy and middle supers and 2-3 supers above UBB all filling fast
I've found that the majority use the lower entrance; it's just the fact that it's a much smaller aperture that makes it look busy - same as in the evening during the ripening sessions, you see most of the fanning at the lower entrance
I’ve never tried a Demaree on a colony with a solid floor. Do you think it would be any different to one with an OMF?
doubtful
Makes sense. Thanks
