Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stephen Horsley" data-source="post: 9650" data-attributes="member: 491">Thank you Tristan, yes completely forgot about removing side frame to allow more room to remove others. The sugar test does seem a little random but in saying this the number of mites did seem low? How do you remove the right amount of bees and from where within the brood box? Re the Apivar it states the dosage rate is two strips per brood box. By doubling the brood boxes does this mean doubling the amount of bees? Or merely giving more room and as you mentioned reduces the incidence of swarming?</blockquote>
