Upon inspection, there was a lot of capped brood, larvae and some eggs...on 2 frames in the upper deep...there were a ton of bees in the bottom box, quite a many in the to but more in the bottom...
Whats up with that?
Also, should I let nature take its course, and figure Queenie will know when it is time to increase production? Should I feed a 1:1???
Thanka ya's mucho
I believe i read somewhere that you have double deeps. if that is correct it is normal for them to move to the uper box come spring. I would reverse the boxes and let them have plenty of room for brood. If you have stuff blooming I would not feed unless they need it.
Things are beginning to bloom here,acacia, arctostaphylos ( manzanita ) and various eucalyptus...think I will just wait and see...
Thank 'ye PD
OK I just asked you a question in another post and you answered it here. Sorry for not reading further.
I am curious though about the honey stores in your hives, you did not mention the honey.

They had plenty of honey! Wow! They were fat lil dudettes too!
So, no need to feed sugar then.
