I've got a colony that has backfilled the broodnest with pollen. Should I take out all but 2 pollen frames to leave in the #2 & #9 spaces? How much do they really need if they have such a surplus. These are mediums, and the frames are completely full. I'll put the excess pollen frames to good use elsewhere.
Also, the queen is laying down nice patterns and bees are very gentle. Thinking though, is this pollen gathering a trait that should be "taken care of" and replaced with genes that collect more honey? Because that's what I am after.
