what does commercial keepers do, not worry about it.

Commercial beeks have a thousand or two hives, so they probably dont worry about it too much. I would do as someone else suggested and wait to see how much capped brood you could switch out. But....if by some chance it is a failing hive, as some are, dont continually 'rob Peter to pay Paul' to keep one going either. I did and I regretted it later. Instead of having a really good hive I had two mediocre ones and wound up losing one of those. With packages though, its still too early to tell. 21 days at a bare minumum from when the queen was released to see any kind of a population increase. Its a long wait I know. Patience is something Im having to learn as a Beekeeper.
