/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>478601

if your timing is right, you can split a strong hive going into it's 2nd year/1st-spring and get 2 new hives in addition to your original. Extra drawn frames are like gold, know when you can convince your girls to draw foundation or fresh comb, you'll be glad to have it when you start of a fresh split or need to anchor a swarm.

here's a shot of some burr comb my girls drew last summer when I left them too much space and not enough frames.... I felt so bad destroying their hard work... /cry/
