Put on a super July 14th, checked it today and they had 7 frames filled and capped with honey. Should I put on another super now?

7 frames full edge to edge, both sides, with 3 more drawn and partial full? Two hive bodies? Yes, add a super.
One hive body? Undrawn foundation in 3 frames? Leave them alone. I've been pulling an average 3-4 shallow supers this season on two body hives, and will probably pull another shallow on most of them. |

Two hive bodies , with one super with 7 frames in super both sides full, the other three partially drawn comb about 50% or so. |
