I bought an abelo mating hive this year but unfortunately had a horrible robbing out before I noticed so didn't get very far. I never got the chance to do anything with the hives. I was wondering how people handle it? The feeder is directly on the hive which is split in to two sides with a rubbish piece of polystyrene which has had the lugs break off after only a few removals. If I take off the feeder I cannot easily check for queens underneath because of all the syrup. Also, I would assume that the queens can nip over the central divider when the lid is off.
The BS honey nuc has the same design issues. Do any of you have these items, and how do you check what's going on inside?
