Hello,

            I installed my package into a new hive on April 10th and released the queen on April 13th.  The bees seem to be going very strong.  I checked today and found eggs, larvae, and capped brood in a nice pattern over about 3 frames.  The bees are working on drawing out comb on the 7th foundation.  Could it be time to add the second super already?  Should I wait until a few cycles of brood hatch?   

 

Thank you,

 

Joe Rudek
