[QUOTE="stoney, post: 3516, member: 34"] I was yarning about this with a mate just the other day he’s an old ex airborne keeper.. usually I winter as dbl brood, brood in bottom FD box full on top no excluder, I treat with ox/gl paper.. come first checks in august the bottom box is generally empty and the top will have 4-6 brood frames, I switch these around and start the season off. this autumn I’ve taken on board some of his musings and am wintering a hundred or so with the full box under them, does make sense as far as the warmth goes so will be interesting to see the difference.
