Absconding apideas

[Jon]

Assuming there's more of the season left..

I hope so as We put over 70 cells into apideas this week.

Forgive the late reply but I've been dealing with other 'stuff' and not really had the mind to sit at a computer for a couple of weeks.

I asked about shaking bees out as it strikes me that doing so would help control the 'age' of the colony; reducing the older work force which is then replaced with newly emerged bees -my conjecture being that such an action might stall the urge to abscond.
