Hi List,
My interpretation of this thread was not of producing a honey crop from
supplemental feed. But of preparing your new supers for any honey flow
which you would have. Since every area is different it would be up to the
individual beekeeper to understand what flow they have, when it happens and
how much drawn comb they will need to capture what ever amount of natural
honey the bees are able to produce. Since this thread only seems to apply
to someone just starting out with foundation only I'm not sure why we are
off discussing adulterated honey production and supplemental feeding under
the same thread. These are both different topics.
