I have one hive with a super on with very little capped honey (when I peep they have capped/uncapped/ capped again!).
I am assuming that they are needing to use these stores but I do want to get some varroa treatment on asap.
I have a clearing board insitu.
Question : Sadly it looks like no honey this year and I assume that most of what is in these frame is unripened. If so, will it be alright to store this super (in the dry) for 4 weeks and then put back on for bees to clear?
If there is any ripe honey I hope to take a little but I am reluctant to destroy any comb in the process having a shortage of drawn frames....
Many thanks
