> Found discussion of brood chamber thermo dynamics interesting. By coincidence have been moving empty drone brood frames to side walls at end of season to discourage drone production before I am able to get to colonies in spring when they are moved closer to the cluster...

Yes. Good point.  I personally move combs with drone cells outward.  I do not discourage drone rearing, but rather prefer to delay it.  Bees like to store honey in drone comb.
