The girls are making progress! FINALLY!! Seems it took forever to get them interested in expanding into the shim I made. Just to get you up to speed if this is your first time here, this is a box made to fit on top of a five frame langstroth nuc box and is designed to hold 11 inch jumbo skewers. The bees build on these skewers and the queen lays eggs in the comb. Once this is done the skewers along with the comb, brood, and bees are put into a 6 inch deep 11 inch by 11 inch (inside diminsion) box. This is how you make a split from a langstroth hive to a Sam Comfort hive.
Sam Comfort of Anarchy Apiaries developed this type of skewer hive, so I refer to it as a Comfort hive. Thank you Sam!
