<< Where does the second hive body go?  Above or below the
 current hive body?  Or mix the frames?  The bees have been
 in the hive for three weeks.
 
 Do I always have to buy foundation for new frames...or
 can  let the bees make their own? >>
 
I always put the second hive body on top of the first one.
 
You DO have to buy foundation - or the bees will make their own CROSSWAYS or
whatever other way that they decide to build at the time.  Foundation is
essential to being able to manipulate the frames later on.
