Can anyone give me a clue if I have done wrong or just the bees doing there own thing, I have a cast swarm that I hived back in June, they are going great guns covering 7 frames, I have treated with Maqs just over a week ago.
Inspected to see if they needed topping up with stores for winter which they did, so I have fed 4kg of 2:1 sugar syrup, there is a super on as they have drawn and filled some frames but the queen stopped laying whilst I was treating and now they are filling the brood with the syrup, my thinking is they should have put it into the super? So what's people's thoughts as the queen has little room to lay in the middle frames of the bb due to them filling with syrup.
