We've had problems in the past getting the bees to clean out the extracted supers or taking down unextracted honey.
We have always put the supers / unextracted comb above a reduced crown board, however whilst the bees do go up, they don't seem interested in taking that honey down.
Any suggestions as to improvements or more reliable methods? I'm not a fan of storing wet supers, and we don't have the freezer space to store unextracted comb.
