Pete, does he have supportive data as to the effect of harvesting a super,
or is he just guessing on that? The reason that I ask is that when I've
reviewed (thoroughly) his raw data, his colonies were TINY, suggesting to
me that they were plugged out with honey, thus restricting the size of the
broodnest. The harvesting of honey might change that--thus the need for
supportive data.
