I ended up now with a bunch of brood frames with stores in and wanted to hear opinions on what some of you would do? The majority is sealed with a few set ivy frames too.
Would it be good to place it under smaller colonies with queen extractor for them to move up or clean out? I cannot just have it sit and mould.
 
That's what I do, running 14x12 boxes they always store more than they can eat during the winter and often end up removing them and using them for nucs of feeding back to the bees in the autumn.
 
Thank you for the replies! Just wondered if there is something better to do with them.
