I have a question regarding what should be done with comb that is only
partially filled.

Now is the time to treat for Varroa where I live, so I am taking the honey
supers off.  The problem is that there are a number of frames that are 90%
uncapped honey or pollen.  What should I do with these?  Can they be stored over
the winter?  I started with two packages this year and my plan is to use any
surplus honey to add to splits next spring.

Thanks,

--Chris

P.S. Thanks to those that helped me re: Using a nuc to requeen a hive with queen
cells.  Everything worked out great.
