Whats the best way of getting a colony with a new queen to expand onto new foundation. i have a commercial brood box with 5 drawn frames in it and 6 just foundation i have it set up with the foundation at right angles to the entrance to make sure the brood stays warm. the 5 drawn frame all have brood on and they are slowly drawing out 2 more frames about half of one side closest to brood drawn. i have put a 1.5ltr fast feeder on top with 50:50 syrup on it today to help as not a massive amount of stores on frames.
any suggestions of how to take it forward please.
