I installed two packages Tuesday May 4. Checked on Friday May 7 and both queens had been released so I removed the cage's, cut out some comb they had drawn around the cages, shoved the frames together tight and closed everything back up. (Half gallon jars of syrup on top). I installed these in 1 medium box each. I have read that they can fill a medium pretty fast and they are working like crazy! They are bringing in load after load of yellow colored pollen. I have also read that checking on them too much can cause absconding. When should I check on them again to see how many frames are drawn? I don't want them to abscond but then again, I don't want them to get too full and decide to swarm. What to do, what to do.
Thanks
