Looking for a way to feed and have bees draw out honey supers. I am feeding now to get deeps some deepsdrawn out on splits and they are doing it well.
My hope was to get some more supers drawn out before the goldenrod flow in about 6 weeks. But I know they will also fill the newly drawn frames w sugar water. I thought about then feeding all that syrup back to the bees openly and collect the empty frames. But of course I would have to remove all my other supers.
What do u all suggest? Also, Would feeding like that promote swarming? Thanks, Todd
