Hi Peter & Lloyd

I am not quite certain if I am talking about the same thing...

That is my reason for having done so much shaking and brushing of honey
frames, but there is another reason...

There are in UK a number of Polish and Slavic beekeepers that practice
the removal of frames as and when they are capped, on a daily basis.
They do this simply because it is a method they were used to using when
they were in their homeland. I have seen it done, but would not say it
was very common.
