I've browsed numerous old threads but can't find a definitive answer
Midweek my single brood national still had 5/6 frames of brood with obviously less than the ideal amount of stores put by in the brood box. However they have a full super of capped ivy+syrup on top.
Feeding has slowed right down, and with overnight temperatures due to fall to single figures next week, I'll be replacing their feeder with insulation and tucking them up for winter.
Should I leave their super of extra stores on above the bb (on the basis they will move up into it after finishing bb stores) - or put the super of stores under the bb so the bb is accessible for OA treatment ?
