Thank you, Ian.  I don't have extra frames w/ cured honey.  When I open the hive, I see if they have sealed frames away from the cluster.

How do you stick a frame under the inner cover?  I am thinking it will raise the inner cover and open the hive to the elements.  Do you place a shallow or medium super around the frame under the inner cover?

Thank you.

==============================================================
Sometimes I have to emergency feed a colony, closer to spring
usually.  I stick a frame of honey under the inner cover hole.  I dont like
to break cluster when it is cooler.  The bees will clean the frame side
right out.  Flip the frame over in a few days and let the continue eating.
It is a little bit of work, but it can get some hungrey hives to a nectar
flow.

Ian
