Hi
I picked up a 6 frame nuc about 3 weeks ago, they are in the hive and I have had to put a super on as they are expanding rapidly now.
My query is regarding the honey stores. I would assume a large amount will be OSR at the moment as there are several fields within foraging distance.
Everything I have read says leave the first super in place as it is theirs and only remove any subsequent ones.
I am aware of the problems with granulation, if this super remains in place are they going to struggle to use it later in the year.
