I'm using 10 frame deeps for brood chambers. I have read that the number of frames may be reduced in order to promote more concentrated results after installation of the bees with a 4 pound package. Does this hold true for a 3 pound package?
I plan on leaving the 10 frames in for the installation.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
If you have a nuc box start them in that. Go with a five frame nuc.
Sincerely,
Brendhan
If I had a five frame deep, I'd use that. If not, I'd just use the ten frame deep.
