Clinton must be giving his bees steroids!!
I envy what must be the extended flows he has.
Most packages will spend the "spring flow"
building comb, and have little to show from
their efforts other than some drawn comb.
Many people suggest feeding such packages
to insure that comb is drawn, and some stores
are put in them. I myself never count on
any harvestable honey from a new split not
provided with drawn comb in the honey supers,
and expect swarms placed on foundation to
drop in population, as their delay to draw
comb slows the build-up of the colony to
the point where population "dwindles" until
new brood emerges.
