Does anyone in the south have bees that have started filling honey supers yet?

Just hived 4 packages on April 23 of this year and have just added the second deep brood box.I wish I could say yes I have honey but I'm affraid I'll have another month or so before I even put a super on.
Know this doesn't help but just my 2 cents.

Yep,Mine here in Al,has started about 2 week's ago.Looked at several today & have some that is capped already,It does seem alittle early,But the blackberry's are blooming everywhere,more than I've seen in years,That means HONEY & BLACKBERRY PIES :D .
Yep, I have some frames partially capped. No fully capped ones yet.

I noticed the first ten frame shallow all capped on April 10 - last years bees with a good supercedure queen - they also had to draw out the foundation first :)

I have 1 hive that is working on the 5th super. Most have 1 and working on the second.

I extracted my brush crop already around May 1st. Hopeing for a nice May flow but we need RAIN. Less than 1 inch over the last 2 months.

I just put on a third small super yesterday. To have two supers of capped Honey before the middle of May is great. Two supers in my area is usually as good as it gets.
