Just out of curiosity, why are you feeding a colony with two full deeps of
stores (presumably from what you have been feeding)?

Also,  I would doubt you have "honey" in the super, since you are feeding
them.

The two deeps
are filled (I strained to lift them) with brood, honey & pollen (very nice
patterns).  I have one shallow super on that has been pretty much drawn out
and has some honey in it.  The bees are taking roughly 5 qts of 1:1 sugar
water every three days.  The hive is located in Lamoine, Maine (near
Ellsworth).
