Well I did not mean to do it. In fact, I did not even know that it had happened until the next day. I was feeding them with a jar feeder and the syrup dripped on to the cluster and it was very cold that night and they froze.

Be very careful not to get your bees wet. Wetness kills bees. I know. I did it!

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
