@ Moe and sc_bee
I just got in from work and took a peek at the forum and read the previous two replys by you fellows. I don't want there to be any confusion between you two or any of the rest of us. Flydown started this thread from a spin off of one of his previous threads titled single brood box. In that heading bee pro had responded about his 5 frame experiment but gave the impression that he was using 3, 5 frame brood box system. LJ reminded him that the thread was about a single brood box. And I ask beepro if he would start a new thread explaining the results of his experiment. Which he did under a different heading. And quite detailed I might add and very interimg to boot. The heading that he placed the new topic is under Rapid Beeyard Growth, a few columns down from general beekeeping, The heading we are under now. Flydown didn't know that beepro had or was soon to post this response topic and neither did I. Therefore, I am thinking that Flydown started this topic in the meantime in a kind act. And that is how we are where we are now. I have great respect for each of you and your opinions and hope this explanation will help y'all come to friendly terms. Sincerely, Phillip Hall "Ben Framed"
