~ Backfilling The Brood Nest ~

It's been a good spring flow this year and the nectar is still coming in. Pulled a fully capped 9 frame medium super from this hive a week go and 'failed' to re-super it in a timely manor. A empty should have gone right back on this colony. So what do the bees do with all that goodness nature provides? They keep bringing it into the hive and storing it where there is room, in this case the brood area. This just shows the backfilling process and a colony that will soon be 'honey bound' without intervention. This being a normal process in the fall in preparation for winter, I want the queen to continue producing this time of year. So we took some more honey frames and replaced with empty drawn combs she can lay in.
