Greetings All,
Has there been mention as to the movement of honey from brood boxes up
to the supers? Specifically, is there any greater/lesser likelihood
depending on brood chamber configuration (one deep, two deeps, etc.)?
My thought was towards spring when honey supers are first put on.
Will the bees move honey out of the brood box(es) to make room for
egg laying? If so, to what degree? Residues from Apistan strips,
etc. in brood box honey I believe have been shown to be pretty low
concentration, so I wouldn't worry about small amounts being moved up.
Low contaminant levels would be diluted significantly further.
However, I might be concerned if half a super was moved up.
