How do most prevent winters remaining syrup getting into the honey? On first inspection I could remove all ‘stores’ but that leaves them with no food, and if placing a super above the BB there is risk of them moving the ‘stores’ upwards.

If they have no food it's obvious they need the stores so will consume the syrup that is stored there, once they start bringing in fresh forage, that is the time to remove frames of leftover winter stores if there are any, That is why it is important that you feed enough, but not too much and observe your colonies.
