At some time you will have to remove the frames and the sooner you do that will be better for the bees. I advised previously that the frames were too far apart, the shoulders of the frames should be touching each other. You may need to cut the combs and use rubber bands to hold them in the right position in the frames.

Thank you for the compliment, I enjoy my bee keeping and enjoy passing on the information I have learnt over 40 years and am still learning. As you become better with bee keeping hopefully you will become a valued member of the bee keeping friendship and pass on your experience as well.
Bees need all the help they can get and are important to the environment.

Hi peter
Help me with a new issue.
Two days back and for the last 3 days i have been experiebcing swaring in my hive 3 in a single day. But the issue is that ,when i box one ,the other bees of 2nd swarm merge in it and then the boxed swarm comes out of the hive and join them ( leaving tgeir own queen behind in the hive,i have queen gate fixed at entrance).
All this happened 3 times ,
Today i collected three queens and caged them ,and i am planning to dispose them, to surprise most of them returned to parent hive.
Can you plz help me out with the issue.
I literally boxed three swarms,but they leave the hive leaving behind drones and queen(as they cannot leave due to queen gate at entrance).
