We went to check on the honey progress- our box has no surplus honey. There goes our high expectations of passing out the best ever honey. No glory. No sweetness. Nothing.
On the up side, the bees did fill out our super with beautiful- though empty- wax comb. At least they were trying...
The bees typically need about 30 lbs. of honey in the second box for their own supply- they eat it during the winter months. They did have enough honey for themselves, so we can measure that as a success! Next year we will be off the a great head start, and we will most likely have a great surplus.
