A strong honey bee colony can handle if the space is larger than it needs at the given time. However, a weak colony will not develop and grow in size, if the space given is too big. If this is the case, some diseases might thrive in this environment and even weaken the colony further. Always evaluate the optimal space needed by the bees to allow healthy colonies.
