And a follow-up question...I know this is somewhat like asking the meaning of life...
Why?
They didn't seem to be too crowded. There is plenty of empty cells in the brood boxes. I did feed early, that might have done it, although they had plenty of room in a super that is still on. There are a couple of frames in the brood boxes that they never drew out that I made more accessable to them. Is it too cool yet for them to do much wax drawing? I can't imagine if they are swarming.
Should I have done another box rotation? The bottom box is pretty much empty now except for some capped brood and stores.
Thanks for tolerating all of my questions...I feel like my 3 1/2yr old son!
...and I don't really think that they are stupid bugs!
Thanks
Rick
