Hey y'all, a newer beekeeper here.
I started with two hive this spring and they are doing great! I've been checking them pretty often and they seemed to be building out comb at the same pace this whole time.
I noticed the other day that there were a bunch(maybe a hundred or so on the outside of the super so I knew they were ready for an additional super. That queen has been laying a lot of eggs and producing a lot of bees.
The other box has all the comb built out but not nearly as many bees and they don't seem to be laying eggs but storing honey.
I'm just looking for answers to why the two hives have two different approaches. I want them to do what they want, I'm not looking to change what they're doing, just want to know why.
thanks for your time!
