I was ‘gifted’ a nucleus early last year which I housed in a National and it produced a good crop. At the regular inspections I noticed that there was significant propolis being generated and I thought It hope this doesn’t get any worse’!
Well, here we are in the Spring build up and it’s a nightmare. On the first inspection in March I just about got the frames out; now I can’t even budge them!
I was thinking of putting on another brood box and hoping the Queen will migrate up. Then to get rid ASAP.
Ideas please?
