I checked the hives yesterday and the 'A' hive had drawn foundation on almost all the frames so I thought it time to add another box of frames with foundation ( I have no drawn frames as yet). The 'B' is increasing and all but the outermost frames have some drawn foundation, so no hurry for this hive.
Today I added a box to each hive. In the 'A' (strong) hive I moved up two frames from the outside of the bottom box that were partially filled with honey. These were placed in the centre of the new top box and replaced by frames of foundation.
The bees are wanting to pack away the honey and may have been running low of room for storage and consequently constrict the laying of the queen.
