My only hive has a trait of not finishing capping honey before filling the next super. What happens is they fill 2-3 suppers but will not finish capping the bottom 1/3 if the combs in each super. This happened this spring during the locust flow and again now during the sourwood flow.  My local beekeepers have not seen this kind of behavior before. It really creates a problem as I cannot 
remove up to 4 supers to extract.

I have good ventilation, the  Italian queen is good and producing brood, and the bees are strong and collecting better than most colonies.

Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on and suggestions to remedy this situation


Thanks for any help
