Honey2wood
New Bee
I have just gone through my first winter with my hive. I have done my first inspection and everything is really good. Found the queen, loads of grubs and capped brood.
In the autumn / winter I left a full super for the hive as well as a couple of frames of store in the brood box.
During the inspection I have found that some of the super still have capped honey left and both frames of store in the brood box look untouched.
I need to make room for brood and have read that I should replace the stores with empty frames. But what do I do with the honey?. Can I keep it until later in the year or can I let the bees clean the frames?
Thanks in advance for your help.
