Has anyone had the experience of having to add a second deep after just two weeks?
My Beekeeping for dummies says to add the second deeep when 7 of the 10 frames in the first deep have drawn comb. Does that mean fully drawn comb on each of the 7 frames or can there just be some comb on 7 frames?
I just instaled my package two weeks ago and checked for the queen last week. Now I have at least some comb on almost all of my 10 frames. I also have capped brood and honey on the inner-most 5-6 frames but I don't want to add the second deep too soon. Any advice is welcome. Ed.
