SaltyBlue, I have an apiary at home, so I can pull one frame out, and replace with an empty. They don't seem to notice.
Recipe for all-natural 5-lb honey draw (foundationless):
1. Hang honey frame in a cardboard amazon box while closing up inspection (recycling the box, lol)
2. Put another piece of cardboard on top of harvest box
3. Shake box on the way to the garage, and lose those last bees
4. Wrap frame in wax paper in the garage
5. Exit garage, head for screened porch. Check for hitchhikers
6. Enter house and get a knife...the wax paper helps conserve all :)
Good idea to freeze the bar 24 hrs, to sanitize it.
The med. super on 1/3 of the top bar hive is, in part, swarm control. They'll know they're not honey-bound. I don't have to check like clockwork.
