It might seem weird to some of you, but I renew my wax every second Year! It
means a whole box of wax is replaced with new foundation every year!

I winter on two full Langstroth. In spring when the bees has gone up in
second super I remove the button super and place a honey comb super on top.
Between I have a piece of newspaper so that the bees will keep warm, and
take the upper super in use when needed.

The reason for this, that I have used from erly start in my beekeeping, is
that I get reed of diseases, bad build combs and so on very quickly.

I have never had AFB, and am not treating with anything but formic, lactic
and oxalic acid
