Greetings,
New beek here, located on east coast of Florida. Back in February I was gifted two hives from a neighbor. Established colonies with two medium brood boxes each (8 frame Langstroth). Good on all wellness checks (mood, brood & food), with lots of bees.
In early March i added a medium honey super to each, above a plastic excluder. Most recent inspection (April 4) revealed little activity in the honey supers. Few bees up there, no real progress on drawing any comb on waxed foundations, etc. Supers and frames (with waxed Plastic foundations) were all new.
So, just curious ... shouldn’t there be more activity in the honey supers? :scratch:
