And I should add, similarly honey isolated above the normal storage is likely to be carried down.
The caveat here is that if there is a super, or two, of capped honey above the brood and a box to be cleaned out is placed above them in the fall, the bees are not likely to walk up to get it, but they will definitely empty a similar box placed below the brood, especially if the entrance below them is open.
