At the start of the month we added the super to our Flow Hive and were expecting the bees to take awhile to get used to the flow frames. Surprisingly when I checked a couple of days later they had started filling the gaps with wax. I did another peek through the windows today and they have started filling the flow frames with honey!
Sorry about the glare on the perspex, I hope you can see the honey filling all the pots, it is rather exciting. Once they have capped the cells it means the honey is ready to be extracted, then they can clean it out, seal up the cracks and start again! Next time it will be ready alot faster as they can reuse the wax that is already there.
