Hi Miguel, welcome to the forum! It gets pretty cold where you are, am I right? Here’s a link to a previous post with lots of very important info about this topic:

> I am a beginner starting with a Flowhive 2 in upstate NY. I am curious about how to winter the bees. I see most remove the Flow Super in winter. Is there enough honey in the brood box for the bees to get through winter? Do you add a 2nd brood box or do you always feed the bees through the winter? If feeding, do you give them dry sugar? Candy? Sugar water feeders would freeze I would think. Thank you for any insight.

I didn’t re-read the whole thing so in case it doesn’t mention _how_ to get the bees out of the super after harvesting it, what I do is place the inner cover UNDER the flow super. Put the outer cover/roof back on and leave it like that for 1-2 days. The bees will store the residue down in the brood area since the super is now separated by the cover and seen as “not our house”.

After that, rinse, dry and store your Fframes safe from pests for the winter.
