>So are people saying that colonies with good conditions are not
superseding as well as in the past?
That's what I've observed in our operation over the past 40 years -- we
didn't see many colonies go queenless over the summer back in the day.
And noticeable diminution of retinues in our observation hives at our Fair
over the same time period.
