Just finishing up my first season in Upstate New York, near lake Ontario.
We have had an extraordinarily low honey flow.  of 11 supers only 2 of
capped honey and 3 uncapped.  We've had a relatively severe drought in the
area, could this bee the cause?   If any of you are upstaters could you let
me know how your hives are doing?  Am not sure if it's me or the weather.
Didn't put first supers on until about July 4th as we got a late start.

Thanks
