I got bees 78 days ago and today i checked on them and theyre still in the bottom super. I saw a few in the top super but they arent making honey in the top super.
How can i encourage them to move to the top super?

Is your broodbox built out and with bees covering all frames? If not its too early for a super. It could also mean there is not a flow of and the bees won’t build out a super if they don’t need it.

That explains it. Nope, theres still some empty frames. Thank you!!!
Take the super off and let them build up. A weak hive is prone to pests and diseases as well as robbing. Get them strong then put the super on when there is a flow.
