1. How should I deal with brood boxes filling up with frames of pollen, such as after a broodless period?
2. I have made a number of nucs for over wintering - a first for me. Perhaps I started them too soon but they are full to bursting now. If I continuously remove brood frames to give room for more brood, isn't that going to result in the queen laying more than she might if left to herself? Is there a balance to be struck, and if so, how do I find it?
Many thanks.
