Bob,
Would you please briefly describe how you perform your spring teardown? Is the goal to evaluate the queen and check for disease? And I would like to know if you use queen excluders?
Thank you.

>>Without a complete teardown of each hive at times the process would not work. We are always amused when U.S. migratory beekeepers tour other
countries and see apiaries with a yard of say 40 hives and each hive has a different assortment of size *brood nest* boxes.
