[QUOTE="stoney, post: 6900, member: 34"] Well my winter experiment of running 100 double broods with the stores in the bottom box instead of the top has been positive. strength wise there’s really no difference, there has been none robbed out, the part I really like is in the past I’d find they had naturally eaten the stores above the nest and moved upstairs.. away from the treatment, where placing the brood above the stores they have wintered amongst the treatment and in the warmer top box, the strongest colonies have had the queen laying down into the bottom box but not many have to be fair. fingers crossed for everyone this coming season as we roll the dice yet again.. lifes a journey.. and all the better spent with ones head inside a beehive [/QUOTE]
