Went down to check on the hives again. Hive A has STILL NOT drawn out any comb in the honey super. There were quite a few bees up there, but no drawn comb! I probably need to do some more reading on how to get the bees working on drawing out this comb. I did note that several of the frames in the bottom box appeared to either be empty, or have very small eggs in the frames. I'm hoping maybe it's just still early in the nectar flow and they will eventually move up. I tried doing a hive body reversal to see if that would do any good.
Hive B was in similar shape, although I noted the bees were doing a pretty good job finishing the outside frames in the top box. I reversed the hive bodies on this hive as well and added a honey super "just in case".
