I helfted my hives last night.  One appeared atypically light.  It was very populous with good stores going into the winter.  I assume the bees did not shut down brood rearing until December and used a lot of stores.

I don't want to feed syrup for the frear of stimulating brood rearing this early.  I only have extracted honey - can I pour it over empty frames in a warm and insert into the hive on a nice day.

Any advice will be appreciated.
