This is a great design. I will be trying it in the spring. Is there any advantage to adding frames of brood regularly from a few other hives to build up a larger nurse bee population?
sure but I can be in, out, and done before I could even get the smoker lit and going Plus smoking can often make the queen hard to find and every thing that is going on is pheromone based, don't want to mess with it Its easier/faster for me to just put on full gear

Maybe a little smoke would help a bit?

It's really difficult to hear anything you're saying...
Sorry, perhaps your microphone was malfunctioning?
