I am about to place my honey supers on my brood chambers.I noticed I still have a few frames with honey from last year and would like to add 1 honey frame with the other 9 frames in my supers. Is there any problem using 1 frame of honey? I do this for brood boxes but don't know what will happen in a super? Would,appreciate your advice.
It's fine.
Agreed - they'll take care of it and fill the rest.
Welcome to the forum. I don't see any reason not to.
Thanks
I am new to this forum and I appreciate the responses. I have about 15 hives and I have been trying to remain treatment free without much success.
I have some super frames left over from last year because after I harvested the honey I place the supers back on to be cleaned. I was aware that they would be partially filled again but by that time all of my extracting equipment had been cleaned so I left them with the though the bees could use it for the winter. They used the honey in the deeps but not in the supers.
This is my 7th year of beekeeping.
Thanks again
Duffy welcome, and let us know where you are from. Beekeeping is local.
I usually like to pull up one honey frame from the outside frames and place it in the new super. It does not always work, like when the flow has slowed down but it helps the bees to make the decision to move into the new super.

Welcome Duffy! It don't matter how many years one has we all still have questions. www.bushfarms.com is Michael Bush's website. He has been treatment free for decades. I think I will attempt that one day but right now I need to stay the course I'm on.
