Mr. Morris, I was re-reading your saved message
this morning and realized I didn't fully
understand what you had written.  When you give
the supers back to the bees to "lick dry," are you
leaving the frames in the supers or setting them
out separately?  Back on the hives, or set in
front?  Do you try to give them back the same
colonies, or if that doesn't make a difference,
doesn't that encourage robbing?  The nicest thing
about being a beginner is that one never runs out
of questions...
