Just me again. I know that building comb takes a lot of energy and work for the bees. I am thinking a little ahead here to the time when I would need to use supers (maybe not until next year since these are first-year hives). Does anyone know of a place to buy frames already drawn out with brand new comb? Is this a crazy idea? If you could do that, you could allow the bees to simply collect and store nectar, and not waste time building comb. Also, if that is not possible, and the bees just have to build their own, what is the trade-off between building comb and honey production? In other words, this year they may only get a few supers drawn out and therefore didn't have time to put anything in them, but next year it would already be done. Hope this makes sense-
