Would you accept to describ both his method and yours about this particular point ? With regard to inspect some frames every week or so, it is not such a trouble in spring. I insepected 10 frames each week all the season my first year of beekeeping. But I felt my enthousiasm was really too invasive. I cut down inspection to some middle frames every 2 weeks or so, depending on the season, depending on hives behaviour. But such brood inspection quickly become harassing when there are 3 or 4 deep supers on the two brood chambers. After late June or early July, I am very reluctant to play with brood frames for that reason. Hervé Yahoo! Mail : votre e-mail personnel et gratuit qui vous suit partout ! Créez votre Yahoo!
