  Hello Peter and All,

Not a option when the supers are a different size unless you leave the complete super.  

When using the same size super and hive body the problem today is mixing frames which have been exposed to chemicals into supers.

In the fast pace of a large operation using fume boards many times brood is not spotted and is brought into the honey house. Because many times in Missouri the temperature is in the 90 to 100 F. range when July supers are removed and the honey house temperature is similar the brood from many frames emerges filling the honey house with thousands of confused bees.
