Is there an art to inspecting a multi brood box hive without all the squished bees when putting the hive back together.
Tried everything I can think of like pushing or brushing them off the top of the sides. They just keep coming out. Also tried setting the upper box on a corner of a lower box and sliding it over the top of the other. This pushing the bees to the end, but still have squished bees at the ends from getting caught between the layers whey you even the ends up.
I am always concerned the queen will pop up on the top edge and I won't see her and she will get squished.
Any suggestions or is this just normal?
