Please don’t ask why she did it but this is the mess that a fellow beekeeper found when she opened up her hive on Sunday. For some reason she removed three frames and put the winter candy in place of the three frames and you can see the resulting nightmare.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This is her excuse” Having the Brood frames at the bottom, and some stores in it, I had the shallows on top, but they never drew them - no Queen excluder in.... In the cold weather I thought I had better feed them some Candy - So, having heard that the Bees WILL NOT GO UP, AWAY from The QUEEN, I thought I would remove 3 shallow frames and put a box of candy on top of the Brood frames and the cluster. - So I did.”
She is very very sorry for what she has done and blames it on being a 65 year old OAP!![Toetap05 :toetap05: :toetap05:](https://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/images/smilies/toetap05.gif)
All suggestions greatly received about how to sort it out……?
