- back down to one hive for winter
This being our first year have loads of questions. The current quandary is?
As we get ready for the autumn we’re now treating the brood box for Varroa.
We took off 5 frames for harvesting leaving 5 capped frames on the super, leaving the queen excluder in place.
Do we leave the super on over the winter with the honey on it?
As we’re treating for Varroa will that effect the taste of the honey, if any left next year?
FYI combined weight of the frames taken off was 6.7kgs
Thanks
Niall
