I want to have a few frames of honey in the freezer for emergency feeding in late winter. Should I just keep some of my mediums from the honey super, or should I swap out some frames from my upper deep with some new ones? I don't currently have any extra frames that are already drawn out. I have one strong hive to work with, and one weaker hive which I don't want to rob from.
Thanks for the advice!

Mediums would be easier to store in your freezer, and you can feed mediums into deeps and/or medium supers. Deeps can't be fed into medium supers if the need should arise :(
Thanks Robo,
That was what I was thinking. Also, I don't want to give the girls all that extra work drawing out the new frames right now!

Wouldn't life be easy with all the same size frames? ;)
Put something like wax paper between them to keep them from sticking together when they are thawed.

Save a couple frames to see what they look like in Oct. You can always feed them sugar water also.
