So, my one strong hive (I have two) seemed to consume the two boxes of honey they stored over the winter, but they have not really done much with the honey this year. When I inspected, what I thought was TWO boxes of honey, is in fact two boxes of honey/pollen/brood. To me, this is a great thing...the hive is doing well and making a lot of workers and drones, and it has the nice crescent shape. But.....I can't extract that honey. There are a couple of frames on the outside that are full, but I guess I kind of expected them to be drawing the extra box on top and storing it much quicker.
I'm kind of thinking that most of their nectar is going primarily to building comb since this is undrawn foundation and that my honey production won't really come until yet another year?
