This is a hive in a yard with about 50 hives. Most have 3 to 5 med supers each. A few have 6 but I just added the 8th super to this hive today. Wish they were all like this.

Re: Hive with supers
Have you noticed any correlation between production and queen type? In other words, which of your breed is responsible for the 5-8 super production levels?
Re: Hive with supers
It looks as though your hives are lined up in a linear fashion and that your hive that is doing well is on the end. It has been shown that bees will tend to drift to the hives at either end of the line this is especially true of italians. Research has show that placing your hives in a dispersed U or V shape will reduced drifting.
Re: Hive with supers
I use those drift advantaged hives for my photos also.
