I applied Imirie method (switching the two brood
boxes every two weeks) last year. But I would like to
ask those who use it why "every 2 weeks" ? I
understood boxes are
switched to let the upper boxe as a space for the
queen laying (once new born bees left free cells). But
I felt that brood is quite widespread in boxes and I
switched boxes without really knowing if my "switching
rythme" was in phase with the queen laying. I am quite
reluctant to look at 4 frames per box every week in
every hive to know where is the caped brood and where
are eggs. Explanation and experience to help ?
