So

My 3 colonies are still bringing in nectar and drawing super frames, a bit slower but still at it

I have cleared and isolated the top super (all capped) on one which was full of bees, to force them down into the remaining supers. 1 is 3/4 full and being capped, the other half drawn and being filled

Is this an ok thing to do - trying to force bees to work on remaining supers?
 
If it is capped then no problem, they wouldn't be working on it t anyway. Take it off and extract.

Thanks Enrico

Presume there’s no problem leaving it there for a week or two until I extract all of them at same time?

It’s closed off with closed crown board above and below
