Would you care to share the methods you use now and how you are planning on modifying them to improve your operation?  An inquiring mind wants to know.   Know where I could find one?  <GRIN>

So far a cpl keys are timing and excluders.  Switching to singles with an excluder has made a huge difference in overall average.  Not to say some hives don't do well as doubles,  My current winner is one I left for dead in CA,  it’s a double with 5 full supers,  working on 6 and 7 now.  IL supers so figure 150lb first week of may.

Another huge key is taking the honey before the bees eat it.  A dearth will remove all gains very quickly.  Being willing to take honey that’s not capped is a portion also,  get out of the mindest that if its not capped its not ready.  Many times it ready but they don’t cap.
