Comments:

I think the bees are moving the honey down from the top to the middle box. We swapped 3 fully capped frames up from the middle box to the top super and brought the half full ones down. Hope this works and they don’t just start moving the honey down again!

Action Needed?

2^nd brood chamber is being used for honey storage only. Remove and extract one super of honey and perhaps move middle box frames 1 and 8 to the centre (4 and 5) to ensure that there is space for brood.
