I popped in to the apiary on Tuesday to put a super on the colony just to give them some space to move in to. My hope is that the bees will move some of their full brood frames of stores in to the super and give the queen more room to lay down below.
And that would have been a fine idea if I had not forgotten to put the queen excluder between super and brood box. What a berk. I went back a few hours later to rectify the mistake but haven't yet had time to see if queenie is trapped above the fold as it were.
I'm planning another visit this weekend to have a look and put on a brood box to give them plenty of room so I can check then. More anon.
