I'm just into my second year, now with 2 hives, both brood and a half with the half on top. Hive 2 has a super on with a couple of sealed frames which I will harvest next week. There is unlikely to be much more nectar coming in now, so my first question is what do I do with the part-filled frames. The brood and a half on its own has a good balance of brood and stores and is a healthy weight.
Hive 1 has still got 2 supers on it, but there is very little going into them now. Probably about 6 frames to be harvested. My second question is the same as the first - what to do with the part filled frames from the supers. In this hive there is much higher ratio of brood to stores, so it is on the light side.
Sorry to be so long winded with the question but I have tried to provide enough info to get some opinions.
