HI I Just added two supers to a hive which has two BB and three supers on it already. It is turning into a bit of a sky scraper. The brood nest covers all the frames in the middle of the bottom two brood boxes and the lower third of the first super. the rest of the first super is capped honey which I can't remove yet untill the brood emerges. The next supper is jammed full but only about half of the honey is sealed, the next one up is jammed full too but again not all sealed. The honey is still in full flow so I stuck on too more because the colony has a huge workforce. Both brood boxes are very heavy as is each super above. I think I should probably add some ropes to stableise it in case of a gust of wind when these thunder storms which are promised come along.
