Ok, so as Ive seen last year, after the flow, comb building basically is over. It really makes one appreciate the value of drawn comb. Here is my dilemma. So my splits are busting at the seams.......in one deep. Queens are laying a solid pattern across 7-8 frames. Just a small honey band at top and the outside frames of honey. Perfect scenario to add a box. More room right? They are not thinking of drawing another box. What are my options? I know they will throttle back brood,make room for winter stores, but we usually have a heavy goldenrod flow in the fall and white clover throughout the summer. Should I just leave a medium on and see if they decide to draw it? Im certain they know what they need more than I do. If they dont do anything I guess I will be wintering a bunch of singles. Guess I will make a 3 inch shim and give em insurance feed. What would yall recommend? Thanks. G :scratch:
