Like a lot have posted recently, my bees are tending to fill the brood boxes with nectar/honey. A couple of weeks ago, I removed honey bound frames from the brood boxes and replaced with foundation. Since the colonies are good and strong, I placed this in between frames of brood. Despite the queen continuing to lay well, with plenty of space in the supers, on inspection today, these new frames have been drawn out and filled with nectar, hence really splitting up the brood nest.
