Last squeeze

Off to Bournemouth in a bit to decorate Robyn's room at uni, but before I go will put the clearing board back in the hive and have one last go tomorrow to squeeze some honey out or collect a bit more honey comb.

Then not too sure really what to do, do I leave the super on for the winter or put the frames outside the entrance so that the bees can move it all back into the hive but in doing so move it to the brood box so it is closer to them in those cold months? Having seen how quickly they moved the residue of last weekends extraction inside I'm tempted to do the later and then put a feed on before finally treating them for varroa.
