We have noticed over the years, that the Queen and some brood is scattered throughout the supers at the first extraction of the season (approx Sept) but after the flow gets cracking the Queen & brood is then always in the brood box only, leaving the supers with clean capped honey and easy for extracting. It would be interesting to know if this is what will happen in your hives too.:) Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-10210273922830004322016-07-05T10:47:53.824+10:002016-07-05T10:47:53.824+10:00I agree, in most of parts of Australia, doing outs...I agree, in most of parts of Australia, doing outside projects in winter is best. Doing it on the flip-side, is nigh on impossible in the heat. You can work all day in winter, but only a few hours either side of sunrise and sunset, during summer.<br /><br />Your 500m of fencing, is almost double the length of the longest side, of our 5 acre property. I'm sure the cows will be pleased with your work though. Good luck with the last push, to finish your house. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-40153881160963689032016-07-04T16:46:07.803+10:002016-07-04T16:46:07.803+10:00I am always astounded at what you jam into a day/w...I am always astounded at what you jam into a day/week/season at your farm - makes me look right-royal lazy.Phil Poggeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528068263542083696noreply@blogger.com
