New beekeeper looking for a bit of advice….having received a nuc (4 frames) a few weeks ago…we added these to a brood box with an additional 6 frames of foundation.
Having kept an eye on the colony, there is now lots of capped brood, eggs and larvae on the 4 frames and comb being drawn on the frames on either side of these…but we’ve noticed there is now one side of a frame (next to the 4frames of brood) which is full of capped honey (no eggs etc)….
The question is….do we add a super, given there are still frames with only foundation in?
Additionally we have apilife var treatment in the brood box ongoing.
Any help/advice greatly fully appreciated…
