Wayne: If you don't plan to winter-feed, you should leave the bottom two supers on the hive. If the upper of the two supeers has a significeint amount of CAPPED honey, lkightly scrape the capping off to allow the bees access. Happy winter!
Best,

4 supers compose my current hive configuration, they are filled as follows from the top down.
4th - Medium - capped Honey - full
3rd -Medium - capped Honey, brood,pollen,uncapped brood,pollen,nectar
2nd-Medium - capped Honey, brood,pollen, uncapped brood,nectar,pollen
1st -Deep -Capped Honey,pollen,uncapped nectar,pollen- NO BROOD
Should this stack be rearranged, or left as is for the winter ?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Wayne
