Hi
I got a nuc in June and the queen seemed turbo charged laying like mad and as I thought the were running out of room put a second brood box on which they seem to be busy with.I don't want to go into winter with a double brood box on as I'm worried about feeding and also keeping them warm .
Can you advise on inspection with a double brood as I saw the queen initially in the top brood box but on inspecting the lowere brood found a queen cell which I removed then couldn't find her again argh,am a bit worried and after feeling confidant now feel out of my depth please advise .Many thanks
