I am a first time beekeeper. Things were going well until I added the first super. The bees never went up into it and never drew out the comb. They became a lot more aggressive. There were still eggs, larvae, etc. I did not notice any supercedure cells (thinking I must have over looked it- I rushed because the bees were so pissy). After a week of them not working the super, I decided to pull frames of honey from the brood boxes to the super and put the empty frames in the brood boxes. Yesterday and today, the hive has looked like this....(pics attached).
These pics were just taken at 6 pm in Savannah, GA area. It is still 90 degrees out. I think impending swarm. My husband thinks they are just hot.
Needing some wisdom from the experienced....
