Peeked in today to see if the bees had filled out the empty frames in the top box (they had not yet.) I didn't want to break the hive apart to inspect every box/frame but the hive is so beautifully full you can see that they're doing well for now. I decided to add another box.
I have three medium supers that contain nectar and pollen that are from the lost hives last winter. Following best practices, the frames were frozen to kill any pests/eggs that may have been in them and then stored. The bees immediately came up to explore the box and I'm sure it will keep them busy as we head into the dearth of summer.
