A friend and I recently acquired a NUC with six National frames that we installed in our kit built National brood box. I won't bore you with the details but we ended up with a ten frame castellated spacer in the brood box with four extra fresh frames of foundation and now, two weeks after installation the bees have expanded the existing frames and filled up the gaps. There is also burr comb on the new frames.
I have found out how we ended up with ten frames in the brood box and after doing some research I wondered if it is feasible to put a new brood box with eleven frames on top of the existing brood box, and then sort the ten frame box out at a later date.
We would be grateful of any suggestions or advice.
Many thanks,
Nick
