Being a newbie, I am trying to fully understand the life cycle and situations in the hive. I am using all mediums and plan on using at least 3 boxes for brood, possibly 4. Then I will add a queen excluded and a honey super, maybe in the next week or two. So if I understand things this area for brood should be all the queen needs...... my question is does she continue to lay constantly or is there a time when she is just hanging out waiting for some to hatch so she can have more room? Or is she working constantly?
My other question is about the entrance..... can I take out the little spacer and leave the whole entrance open? I am worried about the heat in the hive. It is going to be 106 here this weekend. I have seen other (pictures) doing this but not sure if it is okay or not.
Thanks
