I have a fairly new foundationless hive that is hatching out it's first large batch of brood. they seem to be backfilling the spaces with nectar/honey and not expanding the frames to their full size or building new comb. Pretty sure I saw some larva in this weeks inspection so I don't think there is a queenless issue. I figured that if they are bringing in pollen and nectar then they would be wanting to build up more to fill the space and grow more brood.
I put some empty and mostly empty frames in between a few nicely built frames to hopefully encourage them. hopefully with brood.
