[victor meldrew]

I put supers on 5 days ago , the weather is beautiful .
Do I remove the supers and do a Bailey comb ChangE , returning supers over a Q/X oR store the SUPERS and feed the colony .
The colonies brood boxes are stuffed with stores ?

Brood box is full of stores and you feed the colony.
What about your medication, you old fart?

Looks that way. I rang my provider who made me do some voodoo, and things have been working ever since (touch wood)

Not as silly a question as it seems.
Bailey advises the use of division boards , each side of the brood nest , frames of food each side , removed , new brood box with foundation on top , again using Division boards then feed . This for good consistent straight comb .

Good I'm glad your up to the elbows in bees again .

I didn't say kill brood !
But to confine brood by division and repeat in box of foundation .
Shook swarm ,kills brood .

Haha I misunderstood the question. I have been busy on other sites trying to learn about Andrenas, but the BWARS website has been down and my wifi has been playing up too. I thought you were referring to that, having seen me around elsewhere
