I'm currently running on brood and a half and one colony in particular have outgrown it. Both the brood box and the half are now full. The half is underneath and has a lot of capped brood, some stores and some pollen. The brood box over is mainly bias and also has some capped stores.
To make the change should I simply move the half above the queen excluder and let the brood emerge leaving the cells available for stores, in the meantime placing the new brood box with undrawn foundation (all I have available) under the current brood box and let them draw it as they need it.
In the next few days the bees are moving onto beans which are in full flow now
