I have a national hive on a brood and a half. At the moment the deep is on top of the shallow box with supers on top. After harvesting the super I looked in the deep box and there are at least 4 fully capped deep frames of honey, this may have been partly due to lack of space while I was on holiday.
Should I:
1. leave alone ( honey to be used as stores in winter)
2. reverse the deep and shallow maybe uncapping the deep frames and leaving the supers on top. Will the bees move the honey up into the super?
3. Extract honey from some of the deep frames then reverse the boxes?
