4. Forming a new hive
A new bee hive needs to be developed from brood chamber
Three brood frames from a developed hive is separated and kept in an empty brood chamber.
Now empty brood frame with wax sheet is kept inside the hive, next to the fully developed frame.
When enough bee flora is available, bees collect honey and convert it to wax to build the comb.
Since bees are less in population, one brood frame will take 10 days to be constructed
