now..when would be the best time to push them into brood rearing. i mean..bees draw different comb at different time, i noticed that the strong building urge in spring is not very good for regression, they built me lots of drone comb and i doubt they regressed a lot, but i'd had to measure it, i measured a few but..dissapointed, although they were smaller pieces, some even from supers, but still.
would it be better to remove most of brood comb in late summer and feed them stron-kind of in preparation for winter, plus they'd be forced to build comb for brood and the best of all, i doubt they'd want to build drone comb, well maybe a little, but it would be because of the "strong flow"
this popped to my head because someone once mentioned that beeks were at most pleased with comb built on buckwheat pasture, now--this pasture is very late-autumn one, when bees usually don't even build comb, most beeks around here say that after linden pasture(mid june) bees are reluctant to building new comb-so, with an artificial flow would it go?ah..i'll give it a try with at least one hive.
