[QUOTE="tristan, post: 353, member: 30"] there is the trick of removing the brood at the start of the honey flow. ie you build up the hive to max bee numbers, then remove the brood so there is no young to feed, so they pack it into stores instead. tho its not without risk. with no replacement bees coming through the hive declines pretty quickly. the more common method is dual FD broods then drop the excluder down and turn it into a single brood box. however a single FD is ok where as a single 3/4 can run into swarming issues or lack of replacement bees.
