Today inspected the bees and a population explosion from a bursting nuc to a standard national 2 weeks ago. We now have brood on 9 frames, and the rest of the frames have been drawn and are busy, so we added a super and queen excluder (bamboo sort which came with hive). Tonight went to check on bees and found them hanging around the entrance which we haven't seen before. Is this normal or because we have added a super or just because of the heat. This hive did seem very full which is why we added the super, would a half brood been a better option??
Thanks
