I have been reading the thread started by the woodgatherer. I am in the same boat with the bees boiling over the top bars in the Brood Box, they are also building brace comb along the top bars right up to the glass quilt. I have been pondering as to whether to put a second BB on top or a Super. I am going to put a Super on which will give them something to do drawing out the foundation - I hope.
I would strongly suggest drawn comb if you have it. Drawn comb, they can store "stores" in there or raise brood, both of these are good things. Drawing out foundation in February is a highly interesting thought and possibly something that really isnt in the best interests of the bees this early in the year as they would consume resources that might be best deployed elsewhere.Cable_Fairy wrote: ↑25 Feb 2019, 22:01I am going to put a Super on which will give them something to do drawing out the foundation - I hope.
