I was examining two hives at an outyard today
and noticed something strange. Two weeks
ago, both hives had one almost completely
capped super of honey each. At that time I
added a second empty super to each. Today,
one hives supers were completely empty and
the other hives supers were both full. Both
hives were given new queens over a month ago,
but the one with the empty supers superceded
and I gave them another new queen. This hive
was queenless for about a week each time I
requeened it. Could this be the reason why the
honey was moved down from the super? ( from
lack of brood)
Any comments would be appreciated
