My nuc which arrived in May had plastic spacers on the edges. My frames are self spacing. So I had a 'challenge' of getting the frames in the right place where the plastic ones met the self spacers.
I am moving the plastic ended ones towards the outside of the brood box to get rid of them. One is now at the edge and is filled with stores (no brood).
Can I just remove this one and replace it with an empty self spacer? Is this the right time of year to do it bearing in mind I will be taking some of their stores?
Any help gratefully received.
