Honey super #2

On Friday I put a new honey super on the hives. In order to place a new box on the hive it needs to be placed right above the brood boxes, that means that I needed to take off the full super and place it on top. The reason to do it that way is so the bees don't need to travel so far to place honey in the hive. I can tell you that a full honey super is definitely heavier then I expected, that is good (more honey).
