I have seen several comments recently on threads to the effect that a hived swarm should not be overfed as this causes the newly drawn comb to be filled with feed and no room for egg laying. I have a prime swarm (from another of my own hives). National Brood box full of fresh foundation. Can someone recommend how much to feed and for how long please? I currently have a half gallon contact feeder of 2:1, been on six hours. Thanks. Keith
