I have a few questions I was hoping to get answered. After my inspection last week my 1st year bees from a nuc had almost started drawing comb on the outer plastic foundation.
My current setup is a deep with 8 frames and an internal feeder.
When I inspect tomorrow I am assuming I am going to have to add a medium on top of the deep.
First question is do I take the feeder out of the deep and replace with frames?
Do I put a medium feeder in the new top medium?
I have seen people post about how you have to draw bees up and you can do so by moving a frame or two into the new deep. Well mine is a medium so the deep frames will not fit without hanging down. Do I do this and leave one or two blanks in the deep?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
