I'm happy because the small colony I went into winter with look to have come through in fine form. Lots of bees with stacks of pollen going in. A quick inspection on Saturday showed eggs, nice fat larvae, capped brood and stores. BUT they don't seem to be in a hurry to draw more comb (I only have frames with foundation as this is my first start to a season)they have had syrup for week or so but do I give them more to encourage them to draw comb or if I give them more will it take up all the space for brood which HM is producing. Decisions decisions and it's only the first inspection!
Any advice from the wise would be greatly appreciated
