We have re-united a colony that failed - lost new queen. Last weekend we put it on top of our other colony (with 2 supers) with newspaper in between. During the week we had a visit from the local bee inspector and she thought they were really doing well. There were quite a few frames almost fully capped in one super and the other was filling nicely.
Today we looked in with the hope of taking a few frames to spin off our first honey. However, there were no frames more than 3/4 capped. Additionally, some stores have been moved up to the deep box which is still sat on top.
How can we get the bees to remove the honey from the deep box and put it into the supers? Should it go above, below or where?
Cheers
