Waldemar asked: > This question is for the folks who keep and/or breed Amm: do you use > unlimited broodnest in your set-up or do you use a limited nest with queen > excluders? I use a single British National brood box with a queen excluder. It is rare for a queen to need more room than this provides, but without the excluder I find that they will make the nest more vertical in shape by using the first super. (...and before someone tells me that this will not produce enough bees to get a decent crop, have a look at the picture here: http://www.stratford-upon-avon.freeserve.co.uk/Newsletters/August2007.htm).
