I have several small hives that will have to be fed to get through the
winter. Currently most occupy only the brood chamber.While I have a super
on top, the foundation has not been drawn and the honey flow is over.
  If I feed heavily, will the bees draw this new foundation out? If so,
when should I start feeding? If I feed, and the bees do not draw out the
foundation will they store the sugar water in the brood chamber thus
comprising the Queen and the space that she needs to lay eggs?

Thanks,
      Kurt
