[QUOTE="afmargetts, post: 208, member: 90"] Thanks for all the advice everyone! I like the idea of using two 3/4 boxes for brood and contracting down to them for winter. 1. I'm guessing I start by moving the queen excluder up a couple of levels? 2. Is there a preferred temporary position in the 'new' stack of 3 brood boxes for the 'to be replaced full depth brood box'? 3. Will my queen migrate to a 3/4 box or is up to me to manually remove her from the full depth box? 4. Is there a critical time when I reposition the excluder to deactivate the full depth box? 5. I'm presuming it's my decision to keep using the full depth frame box? Advice requested please - (if I've not overstayed my welcome). [/QUOTE]
