I was trying to move the brood nest out of the super that I had on top of a deep, so that I could put a medium between them and return the super to just honey storage. A few days ago, I put on an excluder between the super and deep, hoping that the queen was in the deep. Checked today and nope, she was in the super... which now has more brood of course. Anyway, I got her down below, but now it'll be 23 days before all that brood is hatched. That seems too long to go before I give them another (medium) box, which I had wanted to put on top of the deep so they can move up. At some point between now and then will it be safe to put the medium in there, or do I risk losing the brood in the super? I amaze myself that I can get myself into such messes!
