I keep forgetting to ask. Do we have a local supply dealer? I need 10 deep
frames/foundations, and with this heat didnt want to order them through the
mail...

Also needed some advice. Just started with a nuc this year, that I moved to
a 10frame. Feeding them constantly, because this first year I just want
growth and not honey. They drew that out very fast, so I added a second hive
body. On inspection it looks like they've filled the lower body completely
with brood and the top body with honey. Should I rotate some brood to the
center of the top body? I'd like to add a third deep frame before they
winter so I can split the hive next Spring, but with the non"rainbow" laying
pattern I didnt know if that was wise...

Thanks
-Zac
