Good morning: My first package (3lb.w/queen), installed on the 4th of April, has only drawn out five-six frames of the ten in my first hive body. They seem to be working from the center and toward one of the ends, foundation-wise....a fellow beekeeper told me that, by this point in the season, I should add the second hive body on top of the first, or visa-versa, regardless if they have finished drawing out all the comb on the ten frames...I asked why and he said to give the bees a greater sense of urgency, and they will start working harder to draw comb.....does this sound like good advice or not....and why??
Can anyone speak to both camps on this issue?
Thanks!
