Hi Im new to the forum Im also new to bees I got my first hive in may now Im up to 4 heres my prob I had stored some supers out side with a hive top on them and a bottoms under it worked all summer well I go to put them away for the winter and some bees have moved in I keep a building heated all winter but the humidity is high I have a large screened cage and was thinking of putting them in there feeding them sugar and old honey if there kept worm will the humidity bother them?

Don't know where you are located, but it would most likely be better to keep them outside than in a heated building as they will want to fly. Reduce the size of the hive down as much as possible so the bees fill it up and feed them well.
