I've been reading about this in Ted Hoopers book. He describes that it is done in order to build up the brood nest size in Spring but I haven't heard anyone on here talking about doing it at all. Although I may have just missed it!
Is it something that is still practised by experienced beekeepers?
Note, that as a newish (3rd year) beekeeper, I wasn't planning on doing it, I'm just interested to know more about it and whether folks do actually do it?
Cheers
