I checked on "the girls" yesterday afternoon. They have been B-U-S-Y!!!
My photographers have gotten "sting-shy", so they won't get close enough to take a pic until I get them bee suits. :-(
Anyway, I had the comb we pulled out of their duckbox in three frames on one side of the hive, and the plastic-based foundation filling the rest of the hive.
Last week when I checked on them, I intermingled the plastic foundation and their "home" comb. When I checked yesterday, they were busily adding wax to the frames with plastic foundation, some of which already has capped honey, even though that frame is not even completely drawn out. Only 3 frames had little to no comb added yet.
I went ahead and added the first super to the hive. They may start upward begin storing in the super. I don't necessarily thing that is a bad idea.
I AM anxious to add the first honey super, though.
