An important part of successfully keeping bees in any setting is the management of beehives

Manipulation of the brood box will help alleviate the overcrowding within the hive, simply by “lifting” brood above the queen excluder thereby providing more room for the queen to lay. I tend to select young brood as opposed to sealed brood; sealed brood will hatch a lot sooner than unsealed brood thereby providing more space in which the queen can lay. I would normally lift 3-4 frames of brood at a time, carefully making sure the queen is not accidentally lifted into the honey super with the brood. It is always a good idea to find the queen first prior to lifting frames of brood.
