I have searched the archives and do not see the answer to these
questions.
I am getting ready to get my hives to winter size. I am pulling all
frames with out honey pollen etc. and moving those that are partially
full to other boxes to leave to the bees. (Oh buy the way, I am in north
Texas and the first frost has come.) I am tired of reinstalling
foundation every year and having the bees spend so much energy on
rebuilding every year. Last year I relied on the very cold Dec. to kill
the Wax moth It didn't work very well. Texas doesn't get that cold for
that long.  This year I am going to be pro active. I am using all Medium
boxes, so I have taken a stack of four boxes using an old cover on the
bottom and using pallet wrap have sealed them up, as tight as I can, I
then put a 2" deep box that comes from a Baggie feeder and put that with
a sheet of newspaper and four of the p-Dichlorobenzene urinal cakes,
then 4 more boxes with another 2" box then a good lid and wrapped that
up. My company throws out the cores of pallet wrap when there is between
3/4" to 1" on them the machines don't work well with less, so I get the
wrap for free.

My questions are, at long last, how many of the 4oz. cakes should you
use for each supper? Should I put one cake on every super? Am I
protecting the bottom supers too well and the top ones not enough?
Inquiring minds want to know.
