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 -------------------------------------------------- Dr.Obolonkin Minsk, Belarus e-mail [log in to unmask]
