House Bee
My 14x12 brood box has 2 empty frames (one fully drawn out, the other partially). So I put a super on top with just 3 partially filled frames of honey, uncapped them and opened a slight hole for bees to come up and take down the honey. Also added a round feeder with 2/1 sw.
Blow me if they don't bloomin recap the honey and start filling the cells with more!
Am I missing something? I want them to take it all down so I can take the super off, but leave them with a nice full brood box.
How do I convince them they are not in their own hive, just robbing a secret chamber?
