The girls were doing great during the early flow and I had three supers on my carniolan hive. Now that the main flow is over and the bees are back to clover and (hopefully) the sourwood trees in the area, I wanted to harvest. In looking at the 3 supers, there were only 17 frames (out of 30) that were had significant stores and NONE of them were more than 80% capped. I put the 17 down into two supers and am currently waiting for them to finish.
Other than yelling obscenities at them :waiting:, how can I get them to finish capping those frames? I'd rather not feed them, unless that's my only option. I'm hoping they'll get enough from the clover/sourwood to finish...
