House Bee
I've taken over looking after my brothers bees, its my 1st year on my own only done 1 year helping out, so in at the deep end so to speak.
A few of the hives were on double brood, I found the queen and but her in the bottom box then Qx on, just so I could sort out the frames with out disturbing the brood. Can I remove some of the frames and put foundation in the centre say 4 frames, then let queen back up ? then a super on top with stores or is it too early yet, with cold weather still on the way, I'm just on the edge of the pennines, so still nippy up here.
