The discussion has moved from leaving extracted supers and cappings in
the open for bees to clean out (my concern) to open feeding with syrup
as a beekeeping practice (which I have done).

Bob, as a professional, how do you handle extracted supers in the fall,
which, from my observations, is when most of the robbing and neighbor
problems occur if left for the bees to clean in the open?
