Does everyone have supers on except for me. I have a friend that I sold a couple of hives to and he put nucs in his and I put in packages. He put on his first supers on last week and my top hive body doesn't even have honey in it yet. I've seen the queens and they are both laying tons of brood and there seems to be a lot of bees, why are they not filling their upper deeps?

I started 2 hives from packages this spring - mid-April time period. On one, I JUST saw my first full frame of capped honey over the weekend. Mind you it was inside the brood nest on the 3rd box, but capped honey just the same. No honey supers on yet.

The other hive is on its 2nd hive body and is building bees like mad - but no frames of capped honey.

Both were started from scratch on 8 frame mediums with no foundation, just wood-ware.
