>Normally remove all honey, so bees winter on the honey in the brood box
plus an average of 2/3 of a block of fondant - about 8kg.
OK, Peter, now I understand--you are wintering in a "single," with an eke
on top. So back to my earlier question--is there a honey band above the
brood? In other words, does a band of honey separate the brood area from
the thymol lids, and if so, how far above the brood is the lid?
Thanks,
Randy
