hi everyone-
   this was mistakenly sent to 'owner-bee-l' instead of the list.
since I don't know anything about bees, i'll forward it back to you.

I have two hives in their second year.  I managed them closely this spring
and neither swarmed.  They now have 4 supers each of capped honey and one
partial (on top of two brood chambers).   The honey flow is over in
Maryland.  I usually procrastinate and wait til Aug. to extract.  I would
like to do it earlier this year.  Should I make any attempt to depopulate
the bees when I remove the supers or just let them crowd in for a few days
while I extract and get the supers back on?  Will the bees protect all the
empty supers from wax moth until fall or should they be removed and wrapped
with moth balls?
