Hi,
I got inspired about Walt Wrights nectar and pollen box management and would like to give it a try. I have question about my equiptment if someone has experience with the subject.
At the time i have all
deep boxes. And if i undestand correctly ideal would be one deep and rest shallows? How does checker boarding work with all deeps? I was allready thinking to cut my deeps to mediums, but would it be even better to cut them to shallows? So what should I do? Cut my boxes to mediums or
shallows? Does it matter much if i have mediums
or shallows from checker boarding / pollen box management point of view? One point I grasp was that if using deep and rest shallow, brood nest will stay at bottom deep all the time. If using deep and rest medium brood nest has tendency to "climb" to the upper boxes.
Also would be interested if anyone knows beeks from far north like canada
or so having done cb, what was the succes and what to take in
considertion in such cold climate and short summers. Thank you very much.
