Of my six new hives, two are out at my gold claim 50 miles northwest of Phoenix Arizona. Last weekend I checked on them hoping to add an excluder and a third super. But the girls in the past two weeks hadn't drawn out any comb yet. Down below is packed so tight with honey that they filled in a space I left by leaving one frame out. Brood city and bees galore at midday.
So what I did as an experiment was take the filled out lower level and put it up high or level 2 and put a super of undrawn frames below. It was a hot day and when I got home I began to wonder if I made a big mistake and was delirious at the time. So when I have a question...... You folks are where I come and I thank you for the resource.
