I should clarify, since I left out a critical adjective:
> And any brood reared during *an intense* honey flow will generally be a
distraction from that end.

Pete, do you not observe colonies completely plugging out the broodnest
with nectar during an intense honey flow?  Perhaps this would not be the
case if you had your hives stacked tall with empty drawn comb, but my own
observations (and those of others) is that this is a common occurrence.  It
would especially be the situation for bees in a natural cavity, and thus
likely selected for evolutionarily.
