About three weeks ago I got some bees and a queen - 6 frames that I put in my brood box that had 6 new frames with foundation. A few days ago I added a queen excluder and a super.
Now about 10 out of 12 frames in the brood box are full of bees, comb, honey, eggs, etc. It seems that there are bees everywhere, including all over the entrance and hanging from one another when I lift a frame. Is this normal? It almost looks as if they are gathering like a swarm. Should I add another brood box rather than a super?
I'm learning and liking it!
