> 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.
