Bob Barnett's reply to Rodney Farrar's question about proper timing for
adding the second brood box is a good reply for beekeepers in the south
where hives are run as singles.  In the north, the second box is still for
the bees.  One would rarely use a queen excluder between brood boxes,
especially when the hive is building up.

Remember, geographic location is extremely important when posing questions
to BEE-L.  Reading Bob's very good answer it was obvious to me that the
answer was coming from the south, and was verified in Bob's signature which
included Birmingham, AL.

Aaron Morris - wondering in upstate NY where in the world is Rodney?
