Scott: I have ALL Illinois bodies, no deeps or shallows.
My brood nest is 3 Illinois bodies 365 days of the year.  On April 15th, I put
on 5 Illinois supers of DRAWN COMB FRAMES on each colony.  I have written many
articles about why to put all supers on at one time.  You might find them on
the www. midnite bee.
Depending on your exact area in Mo., I would think your yield would be about
the same as Maryland.  I average 130 pounds/colony/year, which is very high
among most other beekeepers in Maryland or Virginia.
