NEW HIVE, FRAME MANAGEMENT?

<< < (2/2)

B DOG:
WHAT I DID WAS TAKE A FRAME FROM THE OUTSIDE AND PLACE IT IN THE MIDDLE. SHOUD I GO BACK IN AND REDO WHAT I HAVE DONE?

Robo:
How did you make the space in the middle to put the frame in?  Did you just slide the frames over to make room?  If so,  I would just leave it.  At this point, they have probably started drawing it out.

If you moved a frame from the middle and placed it on the outside, then I would go and move it back.

B DOG:
right that is what i did. - i slid over the existing frames that were drawn on and palced one that was new in the middle. how bad did i screw up?

Robo:
You should be OK.  Just keep an eye out for them overdrawing the comb on either side of the new frame.   If it was earlier in the season, you could have caused some of the brood to be chilled and killed by splitting it.

B DOG:
IT IS A NEWLY EASTABLISHED HIVE THOUGH
