Thanks Yeogi.
How do the queens lay anywhere they want and you get huge returns of honey? Do you start with queen laying in a box and add boxes under her as the colony grows?
Finman, you are back!

I load pollen frames and empty frames into the upper box and hive is ready for feeding.

Sorryor is there a way of getting the bees to put all their pollen in one place (can't imagine this either) ?

But I must say clearly, douple brood does not prevent swarming. It is only meant to rear lots of foragers for main yield.
It takes 6 weeks that eggs will be foragers bees.
Eggs layed in the middle of May will be foragers in July. How much brood -so much forager later.
