    Smile Will the girls move up now

    Yesterday i went to check on the first swarm that came from my big hive and bot they are building up faster then i have thought the inner cover was full of bees in a big pile and they have drawn out all the frame except two of them and they were starting on the other one so i went and put a super on them. I also checked on my other hives and they were up in the supers i do not know if they are drawing them out but they should be becaause the blackberries are still putting out and still have a ton of buds that has not bloomed yet will they start soon because itis raining here now and it's a slow soaking rain which should help alot and it's warm.

    If there are enough bees to cover all the brood, and it stays above 50 at night you can bait them up into the super by moving a frame of brood up.

    Wink Thanks for the good info

    Hello

    I want to but the super i have is a shallow one i have no other deeps but they seem top be going for it. All of the hives i have a super on seem to be doing very well they are working very well and not as many bees hanging out on the front and when i looked in thru the inner cover hole they were up in there so things might work out for me getting some comb honey this year.
