Hello all. Sorry if I've done this wrong; I don't really use forums much.
Straight to the point now, I have had my bees for around a month now and they seem to be doing fine. They fly in and out regularly and I can see plenty of pollen both in the hive and on the bees. But when I inspect the hive I notice that they have only really moved out to two of the new frames.
I got them in a five frame travel box and have moved the five original frames into a National Hive. The queen has been seen twice, plus there is sealed brood and quite a few drone cells as well as drones themselves.
My question is: should they be expanding out into the hive quicker or am I just being an over-concerned newbee?
Any help would be great. Thanks to you all.
