Hi, hope someone can help,
i have returned to beekeeping this year after many years break, and have 3 hives, 2 of them langstroth and one national, all the bees look healthy and the frames are full of brood, but they will not build any comb on the brand new foundation in the supers.
all the brood frames are heaving with capped honey and one of them is completely full but the bees have made no attempt to put anything in the supers, ive tried enticing them up using sugar syrup, which they came up to take and went back down again
any ideas???
