Super for ivy flow?

[Stedic]

All hives are now super-less to allow OAV treatment. Should I add a super afterwards for the ivy flow? I could nadir it over winter. Don't really want to use drawn comb as I don't have much - any chance they could still draw it as temperatures drop?

Hi Stedic, If your colonies are strong enough 'suck it and see'. The Ivy is out in certain places in my neck of the woods, the bees draw comb readily in Aug/early Sept. Some beeks sell Ivy honey which is becoming increasingly popular.
