Better, I used 50#, it probably is overkill, but its done.
Deknow, I should have said opening the brood as both boxes are brood and stores.
What could really go wrong, if they don't draw everything, I can share/steal from other hives.
I'm trying to get more boxes full of bees prepared for winter because of my July splits.
Hjon, If I pull 2 full frames from under, that would still leave me with 8 foundationless frames
And I have read that those should not be side by side. The bottom box is deep and the top is medium, I added another medium and checkered (opened the brood). I cant and dont want to use deeps anymore and Im trying to phase them out.
