I just put out all the supers I have. Some are completely built out, some are "checkerborded' with foundation next to built out. Its early in the flow here in the Hudson Valley NY but the reason I did it was : the hives that already had 2 supers were working hard some even had capped honey. The other reason is that I figured it was the best natural way of preventing wax moth to the on the supers to put them on the hive rather than keeping them in the hot shed.
Now a beekeeper tells me that too many supers too early (some hives have 6 on them one two deeps) stresses them out or cools them too much. Is that true? Is it bad to 'over do it' with supers?
