I transfered all the frames of my hive from one long langstroth into another, which has built in SHB mason jar traps. While doing so, I noticed that there seems to be a lot of empty comb.
1. The brood frames are spread out. Not much brood. 10% of the 3rd frame. 80% of the 5th frame. 50% of the 7th frame.
2. There are two frames with a few pounds of capped honey and the rest open nectar.
3. There is about 17 lbs total of honey in the hive.
A lot of frames seem mostly empty comb. Will the bees conolidate the hive before the first frost, two months from now?
I know I have a queen. See the "listening for the queen" thread.
