I guess this editor will have to write a letter to Dear A-Bee to find out how come my bees spent the whole spring and summer flying back and forth and all I harvested is maybe fifteen pounds of honey. Of four honey supers there was one empty, one partly full and two combined with brood above the queen excluder. The honey was great but can’t extract it and lose all that brood. What a puzzle. I was so disappointed because this was my first harvest from my Bee Bee tree and I’m anxious to see if the flavor is going to be significantly different. Perhaps I should wrap a copy of The Hive and the Honey Bee into each hive over the winter and let the girls chew over that!
