I have a scale hive set up to record the weight every minute of the day 
it also records temperature, due point, and amount of sunshine. These 3 
things will affect amount and % sugar in nectar will surprise the 
beekeeper it only takes a few days of good honey flow to fill up a 
super.A cloudy over cast hot day 80+F on the tallow flow will add 15# 
over a normal sun shiny day in the 90s.
