I have 12 hives and use this method successfully when the honey flow is on. I
can remove supers around 1000 hrs and go back and collect them around 1600 hrs
and they will be completed vacated by bees. This method ceases to work about
mid-august where I live. Robbing becomes a problem and one has to use escape
boards or a bee blower after that time.
