I think I added 15 -20 drops of lemongrass oil to the mix. Thanks for catching that, Annette, you're the best!<BR/><BR/>Linda TLinda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-13705680483791333852008-03-21T18:43:00.000-04:002008-03-21T18:43:00.000-04:00On the lemongrass mixture.

I will be doing the same thing next week using my nuc box from Brushy Mt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/>AnnetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-42128230975410937462008-03-01T16:12:00.000-05:002008-03-01T16:12:00.000-05:00Hi Tam,Most of the companies make 8 frame boxes. ...Hi Tam,<BR/><BR/>Most of the companies make 8 frame boxes. You can't just put 8 frames in a 10 frame box, although if you filled the extra two space frame with something (like styrofoam or something light) maybe you could. Although my bees move everything they don't want out of the hive - they chew up rubber bands and deposit them outside the door! I think the only way is to move to 8 frame sized boxes or cut your 10 frame boxes down. Michael Bush shows how to do that on his web site - see the sidebar for his address. I'm just ordering boxes in the 8 frame size- Brushy Mountain, Betterbee, etc all carry them in that size.<BR/><BR/>Linda T-Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-26828709492318786092008-03-01T14:58:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:58:00.000-05:00HI Linda~ Love your blog!If you have time can you...HI Linda~ <BR/>Love your blog!<BR/><BR/>If you have time can you talk a bit more about moving from 10 to 8 frames? I want to do the same this year but I was wondering about how that works?<BR/><BR/>The boxes are all the same ouside dimensions but don't you have more space inside with 8 frames? Do the bees fill up that space? it would seem like they would fill it all in & then the frames would be stuck together?<BR/><BR/>Are the boxes a different dimension on the inside?<BR/><BR/>Sorry for such an elementary question~ I've bee trying to figure this out before I order more equipment. <BR/><BR/>Tam :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
