I have seen many pictures of hives with 5 or 6 supers on them. I understand that some people use perhaps two brood boxes and also need a couple of supers left for winter in northern climates, but why as many as 5 or 6 supers.
Why is it not better to remove them and process them along the way. Is there risk to having the hives topple or get blown over with more surface area exposed to wind?
Just curious.
