[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 1745, member: 5"] Local knowledge is gold, but also the starting point changes the decisions- how many frames of brood are in the hive? Give a description of the hive makeup so those who know can offer suggestions for you [USER=175]@Wknz[/USER] If memory serves me - we were taught on FD boxes, and rule of thumb was one box for the bees and one box of tucker. If your flow is over, they wont fill up any more. The challenge is how to get 3 boxes into 2 (assuming its not a 3 boxes of brood monster;)) [/QUOTE]
