We visited the local Bee store, and bought a second top box, and what seems to be a huge vat for storing honey - it was actualy the smallest one available, but could take 40 kg of honey! The recommendation from bee school would be to buy an even bigger one, as once you have the bug you tend to increase the number of hives, and therefore soon 40kg will be too small, but thought if we get anything to put in ours this year I'll be happy - and maybe later it will still be handy!
Have prepared the frames in the 2nd top box, ably assisted by Marc. At the moment in the first top box, we have 2 frames containing honey partially capped, 2 more frames with honey being actively stored - the bees will have to fan it with their wings to reduce the water content before sealing the honeycomb, and on the other 5 frames the bees are building the wax framework.
It's tricky taking photos to show how the frames are developing, as have to hold frame up and take one glove off to work the camera, so sorry for lack of pictures - here's the best I could do - you can just about see the honeycomb building up on each side of the frames!
