RAPID BEEYARD GROWTH / Re: I Have Too Many Bees

Impossible. That's a contradiction in terms.
If they are too tall, you can harvest, or you can split them. You'll get more honey if you don't split them and apparently you don't want to anyway. So it seems you'd be better off harvesting.
There is also the option of a ladder... but it comes with it's own set of problems. Basically you have to lift the full super over you head to walk down the ladder with it.
Another thing is move to a top entrance and make your stand just 3-1/2" tall. That's what I do.
