There are three possible ways.

1.  Use these frames for feeding nucs.
2.  If you have a box full place it under the hive (and a QE) having scored
the cappings. The bees should move it up into the supers and mix it with
whatever they are collecting.  It will crystallise again if you don't extract
quickly.  If the QE is under the hive for long you will need a drone exit.
3.  Score the cappings and place the super above an empty super and the crown
board, leaving the feef hole open.  The bees should rob it down.
