I know beekeepers shouldn't sell sugar syrup the bees store as honey.
But I've been wondering about the bees moving that capped syrup around in the hive.
I'm not using an excluder and I'm wondering if the colony will make room for the queen to lay by uncapping and moving that syrup higher up into true honey supers.
I'm also in the same thought asking if they would make room, or if I should add another box?
My config now is all 5 frame:
Medium honey super full capped
Medium honey super being filled with nectar
Medium super full with capped sugar syrup
Deep brood
Deep brood
Thinking of adding Medium just to give room.
So really two questions.
