I'm experiencing the BEST season ever in my 10 years as a hobbiest bee keeper. My hives are located in Malta, N.Y. (a small town near Saratoga). I gave each hive three supers in late March - early for upsate N.Y., but I took advantage of a record setting 80 degree day and did all my spring cleaning of the hives supered up. I checked the hives last week and every hive was working all the supers - current production is at a point that I usually don't see until fall. I had to get more foundation to prepare more supers from a local bee keeper and supplier, and he reports that this has been the best season he ever experienced also. And he has been keeping bees for almost 50 years! What excitement to witness the clouds of bees coming and going! Go with the flow!! How are things going for other subscribers?
