This one can be frustrating! We often want our bees to draw comb faster than they do. However, I usually find that bees will draw comb when they are ready and need the space, not because we want them to....
Drawing comb takes a lot more resources than most people realize—about 10 pounds of honey just to make 1 pound of wax. That’s why feeding syrup can make such a big difference. Whether you’re working with a new hive, adding boxes, or getting supers ready before the flow, giving bees a steady food source helps them build comb faster so they can focus on growing and producing when it really counts.
