[QUOTE="Wknz, post: 2532, member: 175"] I left supers on in my first year bee keeping and ended up with mould in the hive. The extra height made it hard for the bees to keep the hive warm. They couldnt get rid of water vapor etc so mould. My understanding is , for a 3/4 box about 6 frames of honey for winter between the 2 brood boxes. I'm enjoying my last two full frames that were surplus to requirements as honey and mead making. If you leave one on top excluded by mat make sure no gaps else they will get robbed. I had a box, commercially made, that had a gap and that invited trouble until I fixed it. [/QUOTE]
