Title: 5 Supers. DANG!!!
Post by: BMAC on June 02, 2008, 09:46:52 AM
Well I supered all my yards last weekend right after I moved them all to the outyards for the summer.

DANG...  I stopped back yesterday and the ones I didnt put a deep foundation on as a honey super I placed 2 empty drawn supers..  1 super capped, and the other almost full.  In 1 week.  Woohoo.  So needless to say I put 5 supers on similar colonies and didnt get done working them until 9pm last night......

Phew...  I am glad to be back to work to rest up a bit here.

I love suprise nectar flows!!!
Same thing happened to me last month.  I got really excited and tossed out a couple supers on my other colonies hoping to catch the rest of what was coming in but had no luck.  The supers I put on had undrawn wax foundation and are still undrawn.  The ones I tossed on that they filled instantly were already drawn from last year.  Might have had something to do with it.  We're in a slow spell right now and am waiting for blackberry to kick in.
