Play cups and inspections

[sbisme]

Hi All

On my last inspection my hive was bursting with bees and looking healthy, super on and being filled, there were also a few play cups knocking around, my question is do I need to increase my inspections or will every 7 days still be ok?

Play cups were not charged so I am taking it with the cycle from egg laying to being capped is 7 days my 7 day inspection will not get me caught out.

Every 7 days will be fine. Better than opening up too often.

And playcups mean nothing - often seen around the edges of the colony where there is less queen substance but most don't go any further - they're just practicing in case

Ok thanks for the reply's, a classic case of biginners panic.

Don't apologise, sbisme.
