The bees had no space and it was hot in there, so they had moved to the front porch.
Both the hive needed a new box as a place to put new honey, and they needed to come inside and work for me instead of hanging out. You can see glimpses of the fat honey-filled comb in the photo below.
On most frames there was both capped and uncapped honey.
So I took the new box and set it on the upturned telescoping cover and the inner cover.
In the box on the top of the hive, I took frames 2, 4, 6, and 8 and moved them one at a time to the new box waiting on the inner cover. Now the new box has honey-filled comb in those positions. I took the empty frames from 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the new box and moved them to the top box of the hive.
Now the box on the inner cover has half of the honeycomb from the old box and half empty frames.
When I set it on the top of the box, the bees now have double the space to store honey and it is evenly divided between the two boxes.
