Oooooo that sounds like a good idea Ann.
This is what we humans do, we network our brains.

P.S. Sorry I meant to say this in the previous mail........ Marie, if you're
not trying to move them but simply want to give them more room, then I'd put
additional boxes on the top rather than underneath. I've done that on my
Warre as it was too heavy to lift. They took about three weeks or so before
they noticed the additional boxes but when they needed to use them they just
filled them up with honey stores.
If you do put an extra box on top, I'd also consider putting a queen excluder
between the new top box and those below. That way you can take the extra
honey if you want to without worrying about where the queen and any brood are
and you will still leave them plenty in the four boxes below to get through
the winter with no problems.
