Colonies are looking good. May you be blessed with a good honey season. God bless

Thanks for the Idea of the queen excluder ,bees working both directions.

Thanks Cham. Your videos are great to watch. It's very informative as always

I hear you on the feeding issue. We missed the spring flow and I didn’t feed enough, my colonies were on razors edge with stores

Yup, I quit a few apiaries that not starving yet but very lite on fed, it looks like they are consuming the nectar that they are bringing in the same day. I am just hoping that the weather will get better.

Why do you put the full box up top?

I called it under supers, what I witnessed doing that is, The bees working from the top to the bottom, by noticing that the upper supper are heavier and ready to harvest, while the lower supers are fresh nectar unless it gets full also, it seems they filling up the supers faster. I'm getting more honey doing that and it doesn't plug the excluder. I just don't know how to explain accurately.
