Hello,
Had two deeps make it through a Michigan winter. Was planning to reverse the boxes this spring, but it appeared that there was a lot of activity going on in the lower box so I left it alone. Fast fwd a month and I added a super as it looked like the top deep was almost full. A week later they haven't done anything in the new super, not even drawing out comb. But the top deep is chock-full of honey and the brood on the bottom still looks moderately full.....I'm considering putting the honey-choked deep on top and the empty super in between them.....advice and thoughts welcome.
