As we've now got stuff starting to come into flower round where I am I supered my colony yesterday (they're covering 8-9 frames in total). Because I'd like to get at least a couple of jars of honey this year I've not fed the colony hoping instead that there's now sufficient forage around for them to be able to utilise that to make the wax. As I'd found the beginnings of some burr comb in my Apiguard eke, I'm taking that as a sign that there's sufficient nectar coming in for them to draw comb.
