Jonathan said "worry
that the bees will be predisposed to propolize the RR supers, and make a
general mess."

A wonderful thing about RR's is that bees don't even try to propolize them
(the actual sections) or even the frames!  As long as the supers are put
together properly (buy at least one preassembled super from a dealer), there
is no propolis to deal with, and no necessary annual 'cleaning' of frames!

As for forage in your area, Ron can best address that as he is nearby.

Best of luck,
