Hi first time I have used this forum so I hope I haven't screwed up.
I am a little confused about the relative positions when overwinterin on Brood and a half. I currently have my brood box on the bottom with the super, containing mostly stores on the top. I would have thought that the bees would start at the bottom box and work their way up during Winter and early spring into the more concentrated area of honey and that would be the way to go.
However some people seem to suggest putting the super on the bottom and the brood box on top. Doesn't make any sense to me so can anyone enlighten me.
