When to add additional Supers

[apkfjk]

Hello Everyone

I currently have one Super being drawn - Just completed an inspection and my bees have nearly completely drawn out all the frames and started capping the middle ones, with varying degrees of honey in cells on the other frames(would say outsides frames are drawn out by on inner side only, outside edge nothing yet)

When should I think about adding a new Super and have them drawing that out?(I have previously read that I should place the new Super below the existing one so as they do not trudge over and possibly damage the existing capped frames - so will follow that sound advice).

swap the outer frames in present super for some of the ones nearer the middle of the super, this will enable the bees to fully draw them. and, add another super below the existing one now.

If you have bees working on all frames I add another now and I agree with Tony.

add another super now, on top of the other super(thought id mix it up a bit)
