Here is the scene
Hive 1 std BS National - Brood box full to the gunnels, mainly food 50% capped and about 3.5 frames with brood. 1 Super, full and capped. Super is above Brood with QE at present.
Hive 2 std BS national - same as above but no super.
I am worried that they are too full but and that it is too late to add additional space. They each had about three frames empty 10 days ago, but they suddenly found a flow and filled them very quickly. Should I add an empty super to the smaller colony and divide the contents of the other super between them?
I stopped feeding syrup one week ago as they had not taken any down for a week.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
