Being new to beekeeping I have been studying as many books as I can and
trying to do all my homework I am have missed a few pages or something as I
have this problem.  My plan was to start with 1 deep super then go to a
second deep super and when they are built up use mediums for honey supers.
Well, now to my delima, I now have confused myself after purchasing hive
full of bees that are configured as a deep super with a medium super sitting
on top of it which appears to be filled with honey and broad.  Now my
question is, at some point I want to take the medium off and place a deep
super on the present deep.  What do I do with the medium box and the frames
that are full of a mix of broad and honey and I want to use mediums for
honey only.
 
I have a feeling that in the fall I will putting myself in the same
situation when I give the extra honey from the mediums for overwintering
which means I probably will be placing a medium on my supers.  DO I have
this all mixed up or am I on a south bound train wanting to go north?
 
 
Thanks!
