Like others, I put wet supers out to my home yard for them to clean up.  I
only do this because I prefer to not handle wet supers in the spring.  I
live in a suburban area, and there is certainly a lot of activity when bees
and wasps are cleaning up the supers, but I have never had any bad
experiences with stinging.
 
To me, the white face hornets and yellow jackets attracted to the wet supers
are potentially more dangerous than the bees, but again, I haven t had any
problems.
 
After robbing, I move the supers inside for the winter.  I do this on a cold
morning, as I don t like working around the hornets and yellow jackets.
