A newbie question here. I understand that either a nectar flow or active
feeding (e.g. sugar syrup) is necessary to get the bees to draw out new
comb. I'm starting two nucs, and expect to feed them until the
foundation is drawn out and filled for two deeps; local beekeepers tell
me that two deeps is the standard wintering configuration here in NE
Ohio. Assuming that this process is completed I expect to move on to a
(medium) honey super, which is all foundation since that's all I have.
As near as I can tell, I should continue feeding the hive at that point
to get them to draw out the medium... how do I handle it so that I don't
end up with sugar syrup honey in the process of trying to get the comb
drawn for the first time? Unless I'm missing something, it appears that
the question will then repeat for each new honey super I need to
introduce, until I have enough frames of drawn comb to get me through
the season.
