[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 8945, member: 71"] Once pollen is in the frame bees won't move it round, but they will move honey about the hive. If you put on a queen excluder, then a honey super, they will take some of that honey up into the honey super. If only for personal consumption move some of the frames up. A commercial beekeeper probably won't move the brood frames up, because it does affect colour on analysis or compromise a pollen count. e.g. you want to keep your clover honey as light as possible and you want a high clover pollen count and so you only use frames with light wax in the honey super. Just my thoughts. I am sure others will have different thoughts. [/QUOTE]
