So I am wettsun21 (posting under my bf Royall) as to what the heck we should do about checking the frames in our honey super? If I had a glass hive I could see that there was brood and would leave them alone. But, when I take the frames out, the brood comb that's attached to the bottom box tears and the brood cells become destroyed! I am so upset by killing them and I don't know what to do. Yes, we are going to get an excluder, but in the meantime, when we check the frames by lifting them out we risk pulling apart brood :-(
What to do???????????
