Thanks guys,
Yes I was pretty sure I was at some fault for the burr comb. Gosh as
for shutting the queen down I have 3 supers on and they are all full of
bees. I'm extracting this week and will replace the boxes immediately.
Because I'm out of supers. This is the first year that I have been out
of supers. I usually have a couple left for insurance. I love the
constant learning the little ladies demand of me. Thanks for the
advice!
