We always cut that done too

Do you also do it in May and June, dieGoldschmiedin? LethalLee are you in the north, or Canada perhaps? Where are you dieGoldschmiedin, if you don’t mind saying? Are you in Germany? Your winter will start earlier and your spring begins later if that is the case, which affects the months you will cut the dronebrood out. So that is why I am inquire the geographical info. We might need to do it later, peehaps August, in south Alabama.
In the North, south of Canada. If using packages we are starting in mid/late march. Or NUCs in late April/early May. Typically wrapping the hives in tar paper in November. We winter with 3 deeps as opposed to 2.
