I've almost finished removing honey supers and have seen things this year I
have never before.
Some of the supers I removed have the four center combs filled and capped
and the two on each side do not have a drop of honey in them, in all the
supers from queen excluded to the inner cover.  Some have 8 supers on them.
This occurs in several colonies.
Also some of the supers with foundation in them are drawn, filled and capped
on one side of every frame, and they have not been touched on the other side
of every frame.

I wonder what my bees have been smoking.
