    I have one hive. it is in its second year.
    I was queenless for a while in june.That slowed things down quite a bit.
    Bees are now all over my two deep boxes.
    queen is laying well in both.
    My concern is that I still have no comb drawn in the honey super.
    I wonder if will get any honey this year either.
    Can I expect the fall nectar flow to be enough here in the ozarks to allow them to draw and fill comb enough for me to get a taste?

    if you have a good flow they will draw a med in a week or ten days.
    that sould give you atleast a taste.

    If there is not flow they will not draw comb. If there is a flow and no where to put the nectar they will draw comb.
