Hi All,
 
Yesterday I met a phenomenon I have never seen before. One queen in strong
colony lays 2-5 eggs into one cell. Eggs are very small.
 
I need to say that due to strong flow from forest raspberry a nest (20
frames 45x30 cm) has became overfull with fresh honey and queen has no much
place to lay.
 
At that very time they ignore super placed on a top of hive.
 
Q-s:
1. Why the queen lays few eggs into one cell? Is it endurable?
2. How to make bees to go to super and keep enough place for brood in a nest?
3. What to do if I don't have more drawn combs but filled frames aren't
caped yet and not ready to extract?
 
Thanks for advice
 
Vladimir from Belarus
