I had a medium super that was not capped when I used Apigard the first of August.  I pulled this super and put it in the freezer.  What are my options of using this super in the future from now till Spring?

Using it for what?  Honey or to feed back to the bees?

As far as I understand it, the honey can not be used for human consumption. You could feed it to the bees for food...it can only be used in the brood boxes...no supers.

I would be using it for the bees.  It was not on the hive when I medicated.  It is just uncapped honey that was due to be capped.  I wasn't sure if it being uncapped would make a difference of when I need to use it.  Didn't want it to spoil.

If it was uncapped when you used Apiguard, I would only feed it back to the bees from swarms or splits.
