Hello all!  This is my second posting-I want to thank everyone who responded
to my first posting, this is a wonderful group--Once again, I am a beginner
beekeeper, just started in April woth a package of Italian bees--I have just
a few quick questions

1. My friend and I went into our hive today for the 4th or 5th time-(our
hive still consisting of a single deep hive body)--everything looked good
(lot of capped brood, stored honey, and a large population increase) 6 of
the 10 frames were completed (drawn out and containing brood), 2 were well
on their way, and the last 2 were being worked on but not much was
accomplished yet--however, we added a 2nd deep hive body when we were
finished with 10 brand new frames, figuring that with such a large
population increase, it wasn't good to leave them in just 1 box--question:
did we do the right thing or will the bees now move to the new box and
forget about the 4 frames which need to be completed in the 1st box (a local
beekeeper said not to add the 2nd box until they were working on the last 2
frames of the 1st)

2.we have noticed drone cells here and there (not many), but today when we
went in we noticed at the bottom of 2 or 3 frames a total of 3 cells which
could be the start of queen cells, but we are not positive--they aren't as
big as the queen cells I've seen in pictures, but they are at the bottom of
the frames and they are somewhat bigger than drone cells--what should we do?

3.  should we have put 2 frames from the 1st box which were drawn out into
the second box which we added?

I would appreciate any help--thanks
