One way to combat that, according to our old bee keeping advisor, is to have at least two boxes and stack them so that the frames are 90 degrees to each other (one box compared to the next), with food in both boxes. This way the bees seem to not get stuck in a corner as often.
- mrweasel 3y agoI never heard that, but that sounds reasonable. In Denmark it's generally considered less than ideal to have more than one box during the winter, unless you use Seeberger or other lower profile boxes.
- bjelkeman-again 3y agoOur advisor always used two boxes, normal height, and it seemed to work for him. We have been using two with reasonable success for a few years. But the sample is small.
