Nadir or Super?

[Poly Hive]

So let's say the super went on too early and there is a foundation left undrawn in the brood box which has 10 drawn frames and of them 8 are brood.

Remove the foundation and move the brood frames apart four and four with a gap in the middle, put the foundation in there and that's it job done. In a week it should be drawn and laid up. If not, the bees have propolised it before you inserted it and its effectively scrap. Put a fresh foundation frame in the gap and off you go.

Let’s all save the salt for Sunday dinner. All of us new-bees appreciate the learned experience of the established keepers. There is no way we could be as good as we are with out your help and advice. We new-bees do, on the other hand, really apppreciate it when there is some sympathy and understanding of all of our incessant questions that we have and obvious mistakes that we do when trying to learn and not lose faith in our new-chosen field.

Agreed.

We new Beekeepers really do appreciate all the patience, help, advice and support we are receiving. Without it I suspect we'd be marooned.


Many thanks all.
