Were these videos in the middle of an intensive flow?  [I did not catch much capped honey in the upper frames.]

My strongest hives will get to be the equivalent 5-deep high at the end of our spring/summer honey flow in early July and will have stored upwards of 150 lbs of honey.  The entire stack will be solid with bees from top to bottom.  This certainly is not the case in the fall or coming out of the winter.

What is the nectar flow period by Dee in Arizona?  I believe the entire Southwest has been going through a drought.  Is that still the case?
