Add a super

The bees are still flying furiously in and out of the hive so I opened the hive for the first time today solo and added in a super. Surprisingly the first super had not be touched at all. The hive body had one new frame and foundation in it and that has been nearly drawn out already in two days. However no work has been going on with the super so I took the queen extruder out to see if that would draw the bees higher in the hive and get started on the super frames. I will let them be for a couple days then check to see if they are drawing out the new super.
