What to do when the hive is to tall?
CSX and Demeter both came out of winter in full force. They both have 2 deeps and 2 mediums full. Nectar is coming in like crazy, but I don't want to add more boxes since I can hardly see over the top already. This has left me no choice but to pull frame by frame fully capped honey and replace the frames with an empty frame. I wish I had wired the frames so I could use the extractor and feed drawn out comb back to them.

Wow! Sounds like a good problem to have!
I'm in my 2nd year (in central MA) but got no honey last year. I am hoping this year. So far, no activity in the honey super yet...
