Speaking, as we were, of Richard Taylor's books -- and brood box management, here's a snip from him.
Some beekeepers ... routinely 'switch hive bodies,' that is, switch the positions of the two stories of each hive, thinking that this will induce the queen to increase her egg laying and distribute it more widely through the hive. I doubt, however, that any such result is accomplished ... I have long since found that such planning is best left to the bees.

By the way, I am fully cognizant of the fact that D. Taylor was both widely revered and ridiculed. Bound to happen to unique & interesting people, n'est pas?
