I'm aiming to add another 2 frames into the BB at this inspection, and hopefully get to a full box in the next few weeks.
Adding frames in? If the BB isn’t full with frames the bees will start drawing comb in the spaces and you’ll have remedial work to do (or am I misunderstanding you).
At this time of year, there is no need for all that faff, just chuck all the frames in and leave them to it.the BB isn't full of frames as they were only on 4 frames 2 weeks ago, and 5 frames last week, so i'll add 2 frames this weekend and the last the weekend after that (unless it looks like they need all of them this weekend).

I rarely find bees move stores around under their volition.Super when you have 6/7 frames full of brood
If they have stored your syrup they will move it up into the super as the queen needs room
Really? I’m always really wary of supering a brood with syrup in the frames in case it gets into the honeyI rarely find bees move stores around under their volition.
It can be tricky to learn to connect colony development, what is in flower and producing nectar, and the aim of a colony from this point in the season.all the syrup is about finished
shall I put a super on
