Hello All
Getting late here in Wisconsin, took a bike ride and there is less available for the bees, golden rod is starting. I just took off 63 lbs and have 2 deeps and 5 supers on. Starting to wind down for fall and put a queen excluder right above the deeps and another one above the first 2 supers. Never tried this, but last year the queen was busy laying eggs in the super and I was hoping to have a good super for winter. I put all 5 supers on so they would get cleaned up and have the comb rebuilt to some extent. I will probably take a super or two off shortly but maybe not since a huge clover field may be flowering in a couple off weeks. I am not even sure where the queen is after harvesting the honey. How restrictive would this be for the bees? The queen was laying in the first super. Any thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Brian
