Hey friends!
First post so go easy on me. This is the first year for me as a beekeeper. I have two langstroth hives. I use 8 frame mediums exclusively. (I figured it would be easier to not have differing equipment) Since starting I have the pierce black plastic frames in my bottom box, second box has regular frames with bought wired foundation.
here is my problem:
my third box has frames with a groove in the top and popsicle sticks glued in the groves. The bees love it, however they are building large comb and putting DRONES in them.
What should I do? Will the bees keep making drones or will they make only as much as they need? Should I kill off the drone cells?
Thanks guys and gals!
As a side note with 8 frame mediums how many boxes would be my brood chamber. THANKS!
