How long....

does it take for a strong hive to clean a wet shallow super? I put a wet one on [7-27-06] the top of the inner cover under the top cover. When to pull off and store for a while. I have three more already on the hive which will stay for a while. Thanks. Pembroke

my mentor told me to never let the bees clean wet supers
a few wet frames help get foundation drawn and gets bees through a queen excluder

Stack them up on the hives.  They will clean them when they get to it, but it's the best place for them.  Out in the open is more likely to set off robbing.  If you leave them wet they are more likely to get torn up by wax moths.
