Mine have been super busy through the hot summer dearth…In our area we have one more nectar flow in the fall so I am counting on mine getting their surplus store built up then. Right now they are drawing comb in the mediums. Funny but a few excess workers have been sealing the gaps in the flow frames so I left them on for that reason as it does not seem to be taking away from their winter prep. Who knows…the fall necter low may be amazing and I still might get a tiny bit of honey but not counting on it. Here in Alabama I am told they need one deep and one medium…we have had mild winters and summers the past three years but based on this very hot summer I anticipate a really cold winter this year…
