American blood spilled to protect the freedom and peace of people all over the world.  320,000 USA casualties in WWI, 1,076,000 USA casualties in WWII, 128,000 USA casualties in the Korean War, 211,000 casualties in the Vietnam "conflict", 57,000 USA casualties in "War on Terror".  Benghazi, Libya, 13 USA casualties. These figures don't include 70,000 MIA.  But, the leaders of one political party of the United States of America continue to make the statement..."What difference does it make?".

  Howdy.  I'm just one county over from you, in Erwin, TN.  This is my 3rd full year of beekeeping & this last spring/summer was my first honey harvest.  I had the hardest time getting the bees to draw out comb in medium supers.  No problem drawing out in their deep boxes though.  Anyway, It does seem that (in my experience), it takes a while for a hive to become established enough to be truly productive.  An example....  I've got 6 hives.  The three new ones made no honey, but the 3 that are at least a year old did produce this year.  I guess all I can say is hang in there.  They'll eventually make honey for ya.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah , I was mainly just worried that i was really messing up. Maybe like you say, it will just take more time. 10 hives for just my second year was way to much. LOL Hindsite and all that.
