So I've looked through the literature and I found a review article saying all of this and more. It was written by a group of respected physicians from American and French hospitals and it clearly supported the widely held belief that you should drink two to three litres of water a day.
This is a common occurrence to have your brood chamber become honey bound during the main nectar flow. A typical hive body will have a brood cluster in the middle and the outside frames will contain honey. A honey bound hive happens when brood begins to emerge, it is replaced with nectar.
Here's where the honey comes in. Bees fly from their hive to collect pollen, nectar, and propolis; all important resources for hive life. Their queen's pheromones are detectable from three miles away, so they may venture that far to forage.ere's where the honey comes in.
