longhives

I am running a long hive and have utilized a separator board to allow my bees to fill the hive as needed. My problem is that I have moved theboard down 7 frames and my beeshaven't moved into thenew frames yet.It has been 5 days. Does anyone have info concerning this situation?

Welcome  .

They may not need the space yet.  Are they backfilling the brood nest with nectar?(getting ready to swarm)  Is there a flow on/Are they building white wax?  A little more background information would be necessary for a better answer.

Welcome to Beemaster.
If there is not a flow they will not produce wax. Sounds like you gave them too much space. Did you mean that they now have a total of seven frames or did you add an additional 7 frames.

I had 13 frames to start out. They were filled with comb so I added moved the  7 frames.

There is a flow on.
The last frame has white wax.

Cao may be  right, have your bees swarmed and so you don't need the space.
Something doesn't add up, just because they have waxed frame 13, if it is not full of honey then why add more frame area.
Another 7 frames is a lot, when I would think the advantage of a long hive would be to just add a frame at a time as they fill the last one.
I am no expert on long hives.
Bees always run better when there is not extra space to look after.
