Yes no SHB in the uk. Also our flows are fast furious and intermittent Bees fill supers without capping till things slow down ---

Wow, that’s a different scenario! You likely don’t keep bees just for the honey, hey? ---

Trouble is that they are quite likely to eat that same honey. This year we had really good weather for a month in Spring. The bees were so busy on the dandelions that supers were filled and brood boxes stuffed and swarm preps made. Fast forward three weeks and after cold and rain those supers were empty. Fairly normal see saw stuff in this part of the world. [Previous page](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/how-much-equipment-boxes-do-i-need-to-run-a-hive-adelaide-south-australia/13266.md?page=1)
