If they are following the strips and drawing straight, the best thing now is let nature work. They will do what is needed for them. What is needed for you is only straight combs.
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.
