Adding another Medium super in March, Southern Tas

[Brue24]

Hi
I caught a swarm early in our current season and have been building it up over Summer. I haven’t put the flow super on as yet as i wanted to fill the flow brood box and give them som additional room using a medium height super. I did an inspection in early March and found that the additional box is almost full. The hive is very busy so I am wanting to get some advice on whether I should add an additional half height to the hive. I just don’t know if being a third of the way through Autumn would be a good idea or not

BTW, ill be adding the flow Super next Season.

Cheers

Hi @Brue24,

It would be more helpful if you could specify full of what is your additional box.

But, in general, looking at this:

I would say it may be too late to add anything but food.

Sorry, honey is in the other medium super.

I think in preference to adding another medium or half depth super, I would be inclined to harvest some of the honey out of the medium & let the bees replace that.
