> Is anyone having a "normal" year?

We have had a "near perfect" year for honey production after two abnormally bad years.  Quite a few of last year hives are going to produce 150-200 lb, pretty good for Georgia. This years nuc's that were gotten mid-April are looking to produce about 75-100 lb if the nectar flow holds to mid-June based on past history.  They all needed a super when I looked at them today.  I'm out of drawn comb and supers with foundation, so plan to extract and just put the freshly extracted supers right back on them.  Now debating whether I want to truck them north for sourwood in the next week or so.
