I began last year. This hive was my strong hive. It began on an undrawn deep and drew out comb on three deeps and filled up the top and some of the middle deep with honey. They ended up with a surplus of honey even after the winter. So this year should be as good or better than last. If they do at least as good as they did last year they should be able to fill up the 1 and a half of the top deeps for their honey and fill up 3-4 supra's for me.

How many lbs of honey are in a full supra?
Thanks for the posts. It is always good food for thought.
