One think that I wish I would have asked at the last meeting was: when storing supers for the Fall and Winter, what do you do if the frames have some pollen, brood, honey, and nectar that really shouldn't be pulled (i.e. the frame isn't 90% covered with capped honey)?

You wouldn't really want to extract the honey that is not ready, but yet you have to pull off the supers. What is the suggestion?

Also, if you do not have a large freezer and really aren't into the idea of putting chemicals on our around the supers, would a plastic bag/plastic wrap be sufficient to protect the supers?

Thanks!
Jeff
