When I put the 5 frame NUC's into 8 frame boxes, I checkerboarded them with new frames of wax foundation.
When I check them, there is bees all very it but NOTHNG built.
The ladies are very happy to build out the bottom of the frame feeders beautifully and that is why I saw the marked Queen the other day I was just filling the feeder and looked at one frame and she was there, she had probably just moved over from the bottom of the feeder comb.
Seeing as how they love to build off the flat part of the frame feeder, today when I fill the syrup, I am going to put in one, foundationless frame and see what they do with it
Stay tuned
