BEEKEEPING LEARNING CENTER > DOWN UNDER BEEKEEPING

what should i do?

<< < (2/2)

james:
sorry for the confusion, yes brood
never got to the bottom box as the wind picked up and the bees were getting stressed, will try again tomorrow
there is an excluder on top of the brood box (bottom box)
if there was any queen eggs on the frames when i moved them i didn't see them as i remember checking, but it's possible that happened
so, i will check if there is a queen in the bottom box and take it from there, i imagine there is so i will be able to split the hive, as there are 2 honey supers now with a queen can i move them to a single brood box and empty all the bees and hopefully queen into this new box?

Kathyp:
the easiest thing to do would be to take the whole box.  i don't know if you are using all the same size boxes, but even if you are not, i would just pick up the box and make a new start.

let us know what you find.

if you are unsure, you do not need a queen excluder.  many of us do not use them.
