Bought a five frame nuc about a month ago. They are doing well and steadily drawing out the 6 frames of foundation. They are not all drawn on both sides yet but I have noticed in the evening that the hive looks jam packed with bees over all frames (looking in the entrance with a torch). I thought it would be a good idea to add an excluder and a super but they are not interested at all. Should I leave it on or remove it? Am I asking too much of them to start drawing out a super as well?
