This is my first year with a hive coming out of winter. I had two deeps and one medium ( I added the medium of honey to get them up to winter weight, both deeps had honey but not full). I have not done a full inspection yet, this is the first week we finally reached 50+. The bees are in the top box and I don't know if they are in the middle and bottom box until I check. I would like to know how to get them back into just the deeps? I assume there is brood in the medium(top box). I think I read somewhere that Michael Palmer uses this configuration for winter. If, there is no brood in the bottom box, would I rotate that to the top? If there is no brood in the middle box, what do I do? I expect some brood in the middle box, there seems to be a good number of bees. I was hoping to have a plan before I do my first full inspection. Thanks for your insight. Tom
