Hello Bee-Lers !
I quit agree with Stan :
If your brood box(es) are big enough to keep the queen egg laying
IMO it's better to use a queen excluder : clear wax, no queen thus
no problem to remove the bees with excluder (2-3 hours and then blowing).
IMO it's important, mostly since the use of Apistan, to not mix the
frames = brood frames (contaminated with fluvalinate) and honey super
frames (IMO: as clear as possible : the mine are never more than 5 y old)
Sorry for my very poor english ! I had very little time !
