Any ideas on how to circumvent the 1000 gram wall?

Agreed I've hit the 1000-1200 g mark with 4 of my 2 yr olds 1 is 3! It seems like They know They are becoming breedable and they slow way down. I have another 1165 g cinny that slams anything you put in front of her. I'd like to add that the 1st 4 are in the cb-70. And the cinny is in a 32qt. She likes the smaller spaces. So maybe smaller spaces helps them stay on food. Something to try anyways, after the breeding season is over I think I'm going to move the other 4 girls into the smaller space to see if that gets them going again.

Two of my three 09 girls hit about 700-900g and mostly just stopped. My bee never even blinked, she started the season at about 1150g (she was a better feeder than the other two anyways) and is at about 1750g now.

I couldn't agree more with trying to keep them in the 32 qt tubs for a bit until they speed up again. I put my 1200 gram girl into a CB 70 tub, she went off feed, the week I put her back in her 32 qt, she got back on feed immediately.

Might not hurt to give it a shot if they are in big bins right now!

Good luck!
