I know that you can't really have too much can you. I am a 3rd year beekeeper, with past top bar and warre hives. I started 3 Langs this year from nucs. I installe them in the first part of April, and they have done great, much better than my other 2 hives. They filled the first level faster than I though they would, and I added another deep frame box when the first was almost full. The second is now full, and I have added a med super this past week. My question is this....After looking at the bottom box, I noticed that there are only 6-7 frames of brood, and 3-4 of honey. The second box is completely full of honey too. I think that I need more bees, and less honey, correct? Can I just take honey from the lowest box and replace it with an empty frame, will they fill it with honey, or make more brood. So far, I have to say that the Langstroth hives are easier than the top bars, and more productive than the Warre. Thanks for all the help.
