Place the frame the queen is laying in with the queen near the center of the bottom hive body. Place three good brood combs on one side of the frame on which the queen is laying (place four good, empty brood combs on the other side of the frame occupied by the queen). Place a frame of honey against the wall on both sides to complete the brood chamber.
Place a queen excluder on top of the brood chamber. Place the other hive body or super used for a brood chamber above the queen excluder, add honey supers above the queen excluder. When the brood has completely emerged above the queen excluder, the bees will fill the chamber with honey. This honey can be used to feed the bees next winter.
Check the brood chamber each week for development of swarm cells. Add supers as needed until the nectar flow ceases. Remove the queen excluder when the supers of honey are removed from the hive. Place the brood chamber filled with honey on top of the bottom brood chamber.
Do not leave the queen excluder on the brood chamber during the winter.
To answer your qseituons:1) This is bridge or brace or crosscomb. The bees don’t always like plastic comb and do this. Just scrape it off down to the plastic and maybe they will build it right the next time. Keep scraping it off until they get it right.2) Don’t add a queen excluder if you are using undrawn frames. Let them go up and start drawing out before/if you use a queen excluder. A band of honey on the top of the frames is a natural queen excluder.3) Do I need another hive body beside the two honey supers I have now? I don’t understand this question. Are you calling the 2 deep brood boxes honey supers or do you have 2 honey supers as well as the brood boxes? You will need honey supers next year, maybe this year.4) Your queen is doing great, solid pattern, no holes.I would suggest you stop feeding your bees, they have enough feed if they are capping it. Also move the undrawn frames in from the outside closer to the brood to get them drawn faster.Take off your gloves, you need to be stung at least once a month to build immunity. Yes it hurts but it is part of beekeeping.You don’t need to take out every frame when doing an inspection. Look for eggs to be sure you have a queen, see that there is enough room for her to lay and for storage of honey, tip the 2 brood box up and look for queen cells and keep an eye on the number of queen cups and close it up.
