Many fishermen dont like to really tell the truth about their trip to the lake.. how good the fish really were biting...or how big that bass really was... I think they like to embellish a bit..
Are beekeepers the same way when it comes to honey harvest...I dont have many years of experience but here in upstate SC.. I dont think my bees seem to have made as much honey as I thought they would. Yet, I hear some local people (more so newer beekeepers) saying... "I'm adding my 3rd honey super." A few of my hives are having trouble getting 1 filled and capped. Though it looks like most will end up with 2.
I have studied and I know all the variables that go into making or "not" making a honey crop. I just wonder if its is ever possible to get a decent estimate of the true crop and are these other folks just lucky or full of "poop" !
