Thanks to all- 100 sheets of plastic 4.75 super foundation ordered for my
two hives (optimist). In one season I did need five supers for one hive and
they were extracted twice, five in summer and three in the fall.
Most around me average 20-40lbs per colony, as was I before I read George
Imire and practiced what he preached. My norm for colonies is about 75 to
100lbs which is way too much for my needs so I depress the market by giving
it away to friends. I do charge some who want more in order to cover my
glass cost.
