[QUOTE="tommy dave, post: 6766, member: 25"] sounding really good - i'll just echo the others on adding varroa treatment if you haven't already, one of the standard synthetic strips. In relation to adding a new box, it's hard to tell but sounds like a yes (are you seeing bees on the top-bars of all of the frames when you open the hive up? or seeing any white-wax?) - if you are using a box the same size then you can move up a frame or two of capped or nearly capped brood to get the bees to start working on the second box. Doesn't sound as though there is any reason to feed them [/QUOTE]
