>>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? Sorry, I meant to say "over" the inner cover, not under. You see I have my hives wrapped from Nov-April. Fiberglass wrapped with tarpapper. Sometimes in March during a nice warm day, ceriousity gets the best of me and I wander through my yards, and open few of the wrapps to see where I'm at. Maybe nine or ten wraps between all of my yards, I'll occasionally run upon a hungrey hive, to which I place a frame of honey on the innercover before I rewrap the hive. If Im really concerned I'll feed the hive latter on. I always seem to have granulated frames of honey laying around after last year extraction.
