This hive was a 4 frame starter kit last year it made 47lbs of honey plus I left 70 lbs on for winter- I split the hive 4 weeks ago taking honey bees and capped bees for another hive.
Yesterday I checked them and I have 1 deep 2 medium supers 90% full of honey.
Nectar flow starts in May here but these super producers are way ahead.
60-70lbs on a deep box
35-40lbs on a medium box
Will pull at least 120 lbs in about a week
Then end of July end of September will harvest again
These are special bred Texas 5000
High producers and very docile
I suspect a lot of mesquite on this batch
It's an absolutely amazing hobby.

My hives died off this winter😞 They froze out. Our local bee supply is not selling nukes this year🥺 We will hope to capture a wild hive this spring. Our dead hives will provide us with another 200 pounds + of honey from their winter stores that they left behind but I will sure miss my bees 🐝 😞

Hate to hear that, it is heart crushing I know as I lost my first hive through winter - where are you located at ? we don't get much winter in West Texas
That box on top is a vent right now but in the winter it has a 3" insulation piece that goes in it. I also have burlap sack stapled to the inside of the lid for moisture. Its crazy ho much condensation comes off the heat of the hive in winter. There were plenty of nucs and bees available here in Texas but I heard that some areas were very limited due to the huge loss of hives this year. Many commercial guys just trying to rebuild their own hives.
Thats Awesome! ❤️🥰🙏🏻
oh honey - thats delishious
Am hooked for years now. Raw and unfiltered from wildflowers comes from a farm about 30 miles from here, I get at Giant Eagle. $26 for 3 lbs. I get a week out of it. Honey's secret will soon be out, oh my! NCSWIC

I have contemplated apiary, but it's is so windy and dry here, cold in winter, and there is not a lot of flowering vegetation around us (high desert grassland), I do not think bees would do well here.
I did hear a swarm go by on Thursday afternoon though, and, we have been visited by 2 swarms who paused on their journeys in the past.
Of we move, I will look at the idea again.
Sounds like you have very happy bees.😊

They find whatever is available
They go several miles away and back to the hive - also the wind does not affect them they cut right through it like it's not even blowing
You would think it would toss them but it does not
May I suggest a slim book called the 'Bee Pollen Bible' by Royden Brown.
30+yrs ago heard him on the radio talking about bees and their handiwork, and have been a honey devotee ever since.
He says the bee will range eleven miles from the hive in search of pollen, and the goodies that brings w/it. Honey is Miraculous. 👆
