Hello Elroy:
I generally don't switch brood chambers and I don't use excluders and I
seldom have any brook in my comb honey supers. I use, and have for years,
Walter Kelley's 7/11 foundation. The imprint is said to be larger than
worker brood and smaller than drone.
I can't say if this method equals the honey production of other management
styles but it works for me.
