Michael Bush

When the first is 80 full.

I wear my second hive body every day. I hate going topless.

emkk, I think Mr. Bush meant to say: when the first 8 frames are full - assuming you have 10 in the super.
Or maybe he was typing 80%?

Anyway, that's when to give them more room.
Good luck!

80%, yes.  8 out of 10, yes, same thing.
