It's been a wonderful fortnight of dry sunny weather at the heather. The
bees are foraging well. However to my disappointment there were no bees
in the supers yesterday and no new honey. I'm on a brood and a half  and
they were loaded with capped and uncapped honey. What next? Do I remove
the (metal) queen excluder? Do I move frames of honey up into the supers and
if so how many and capped or uncapped or both? Should I just keep a calm
sough   and be patient? Problems, problems!
