Hi All, I had a quick peek over the weekend. I was very pleased to see grubs, giving me the certainty that I have a queen. I was doubtful at Oxalic time as their attitude was terrible. I didn't check every frame but there was a good amount of capped and open brood. Not much laying space seen.
My concern is that there appeared to be lots of stores. At least 4 full frames (both sides), and also stores around the brood areas. Is this leading towards a problem of laying space?
I don't have any drawn brood frames. I have drawn super frames, or brood frames with foundation.
Would you remove some stores now and if so, replace with what.
I'm on a national - single brood at the moment
