Adding a Super to the Bee Hive

My bee hive had two hive bodies with 10 frames in each hive body except the top body had 9 frames with one division board feeder.
I went out to perform a regular inspection of the bee hive to see how they were doing and to feed them a bit. I am continuing to feed them because they are a new colony and I want the colony to continue to grow in numbers. I noticed it seem like they were a bit congested. To help relieve hive congestion I needed to add a honey super.


The bees seem to be doing quite well and growing in numbers.

I removed the division board feeder in the hive and replaced it with a frame, so that there are now 10 frames in the hive body. I then added a new super body and filled it with 9 frames. I then placed the division board feeder where the 10th frame should have been.  Afterwards I fed them sugar water in the division board feeder and replaced the top.


The bees have freshly white capped cells filled with honey.
Here is the bee hive with its new super!
