Supers!

In this picture you can see that we have added honey supers to each hive (the smallest box at the top of the hive). Below the honey super is a queen excluder, which is a screen that has holes big enough for the worker bees to pass through, but too small for the Queen. The idea is to keep the brood in the bottom two "brood boxes" and keep purely honey in the honey supers.
