I am starting in my second year with some new nucs and I have a lot of drawn frames from last year's combines.
My question is, when do I add a second brood box since I already have drawn frames? I was always told that you put it on once 80% of the frames have been drawn but I assume I shouldn't just throw a second box on as soon as I install new nucs. I am in Pennsylvania, USDA 6b. I hope to get the nucs next week.
