Take a frame or two -(or even the whole box) -from your honey supper -what ever size you are running- and in there place put a frame that contains thin surplus foundation- and the bees will do the rest -people will say -you can just let the bees draw out the comb and fill with honey -this is another way -but I find that the comb generally is to thick and has much more wax than if i use the thin surplus wax -the end result will be a finer comb honey for you-RDY-B

You can-but i would use the thin surplus to fit the in-tier frame -best size for comb honey is shallow or medium-what sizes honey supper are you running? RDY-B
