What method do you use to evacuate bees out of the supers -
bee escapes?

Nope....we just puff a little smoke and use a bee brush to
gently brush the bees off down into the hives, frame by
frame.

Was your harvest affected by this year's drought in
Arizona?

Reply:
Depends upon how you view this...so far we would say a
reversed harvest, but then we have our old field logs to go
back to 1988/89, 1963/64, and 1917-19, and we were taught
to follow the bees and plants. Being agric and geared to
whole year management and sales, you learn to roll with the
flow....so far see end coming no different, though getting
there a little reversed this year.
