Hi all
Some of us believe that the bees will only build a big nest in a large hole (and that that large area needs to be available year round). A large nest will result in a large population of healthy bees and thus an abundant harvest of honey. If we keep our hives small throughout the year, the bees will build a small nest accordingly. For the bees to build a large nest in a small area would not be logical, necessary nor economical.(The bees never do this)
It is only our expectation as beekeepers that a small nesting area will expand when necessary. This is the beekeeper's plan, not the bees' plan.
Bees are unaware of the beekeeper's plans and perform according to where they are: a small hole. And from a small hole, one can only expect small results.
