I added a super to my bees on Thursday the 6th of July I had a quick look at them and decided they were getting quite full in their little home, I had one frame that they build the foundation on one side and not the other, otherwise all the rest of them had either brood or stores or both on them, I rung Juro just to make sure I was thinking along the right line and he agreed (I am a bit reluctant this time, my confidence dropped a little and I am building it up again, just need a little reassurance. I picked a super that had nice clean, fresh wax foundation on it, took every second out and replaced it it one with bees and brood on, I took 2 more like this, once done I put it together and shut them up. They are such lovely bees, they are calm, busy, always out weather permitting, absolutely amazing to work with, I put a jacket and hat on but quiet a lot of the time I took the hat off, I even had a look at them in my shorts, I know things could go wrong, hence the jacket and the hat just in case, but they are the calmest bees I have had. Thank you Juro.
