I have only one beehive which was started from a package on 4/27/14. I've inspected every week to learn as much as possible and keep an eye on things. I fed 1:1 syrup from the beginning and the second deep box has been on for about a month. Soon after the second box was added, the bees were making quick work of drawing out foundation. Eggs were being laid in the top box, I thought the hive was doing great. The next week though, I noticed the bottom box was becoming bound by "honey". The problem persisted for another week and even worsened. So, I stopped feeding and noticed throughout the following weeks that the honey bound issues were resolving/resolved.
Later, maybe the next week, I noticed the bottom box filling up with pollen. I just inspected this afternoon and more frames are pollen bound. The upper box is looking fantastic, much like the bottom box looked before I added the second deep. I was hoping to add honey supers soon, but I need to know what to do. There are some eggs in the bottom box and other bees in various stages of development, but really, it's mostly pollen.
Do I interfere or leave it alone? Thanks in advance for your advice!
