The weather is so poor this year that I have not started queen rearing yet. I am due to get a breeder queen at the end of the month to graft mid July and to give my apideas a head start I have modified a super to take 3 rows of 15 apidea frames. This is going to be put over a brood box for the bees to draw and the queen to lay in. Frames will then be transferred into apideas around 10 days after with the bees that are on or as soon as Qcs are ready to be transferred.
Is anyone doing this?
