Some advice required for a friend that  isn't that experienced as yet with the bee keeping.

There are a lot of bees in one hive - does he extend it upwards or split it off? Any advice/practical help from a  fellow bee keeper appreciated, the bees are in his garden.

If your hive and frames within the hives are approx. 80% full add another super on top.

If you look down between the frames and cant see the bottom its full.

thanks for the response, its packed with full frames  - honey etc and he did add another super after your last post, but we tried to look into it again this last weekend and its absolutely jam packed with full frames and honey etc.  he could probably do with some practical help from someone thats got experience of bee keeping but unsure where to get that? Have you any  more ideas? Its not been properly opened up for some months i think?
