We also left a super <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\">on top<\/span> of this<br \/>We figured that after three weeks all the brood below would have hatched and we could go back and take away the old brood box leaving the colony with nice new frames to lay.<br \/>When we did eventually get back we found that the bottom brood box was full of pollen and honey which we were worried about taking away from the brood and queen.<br \/>So what we have ended up doing is stacking the hive with the new brood box on the bottom (which by this time was had six frames of sealed brood and two frames of larvae) on top of that we put the super &#8211; which had drawn out comb full of incoming -nothing sealed and no brood,  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xavy.fr\/-air--2017.html\"><\/a> possibly because there were <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">only<\/span> nine frames which were not aligned with the brood frames.<br \/>Then we put on the queen <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">excluder<\/span>,  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alter48.fr\/-mercurial.html\"> mercurial<\/a> a new super of foundation and on top of this we put the old brood box with the <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\">rationale<\/span> that the bees will take the pollen from there down to the brood, clean up the frames and leave us with drawn out brood frames. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we mentioned back in April, Urban Bees expanded and with that came a bit more work, roshe run so we haven&#8217;t had a lot of time to update the blog with the details of what&#8217;s been going on at the three hive sites.Yesterday we were at Queen Park to add a super to the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Queens Park bees - adding supers - Urban Bees Website<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/?p=58\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Queens Park bees - adding supers - Urban Bees Website\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As we mentioned back in April, Urban Bees expanded and with that came a bit more work, roshe run so we haven&#8217;t had a lot of time to update the blog with the details of what&#8217;s been going on at the three hive sites.Yesterday we were at Queen Park to add a super to the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\/blog_1\/?p=58\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Bees Website\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2007-08-04T19:23:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-08-21T09:17:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Brian\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\\\/blog_1\\\/?p=58#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\\\/blog_1\\\/?p=58\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Brian\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.urbanbees.co.uk\\\/blog_1\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1c869a0ab717d08cb151f342cc3c25af\"},\"headline\":\"Queens Park bees &#8211;
