you shouldnt disturb that package for a few weeks,but when all but 2 frames are full,add a super,i place drawn comb on every other frame,they jump all over it
To add foundation or not?
Hived my package last friday. The queen was out by sunday afternoon. I started them on frames with only wax starter strips.
I looked in today, and the queen is laying like a dang fool!!!!!
The gilrs are working hard and drawing as fast as they can, but i noticed eggs in just about every cell that wasnt being used for honey or pollen.
Will the queen lay SO fast as to run out of room. Should i add a frame or 2 with foundation (wax) to help the workers keep ahead?
Thanks in advance.
