SHOCKING! What nobody else is telling you about Honey Bees!
What happens here
The beekeeper adds a fourth medium super with new frames to a particularly thriving beehive. He smokes the bees again, emphasizing that these strong bees are 'kicking butt' and are expected to fill the new super specifically with honey, not brood, due to the ample space and hive management. He reiterates the process of evenly spacing the frames within the super. He notes that a 10-frame super can hold about 60 pounds of honey, and an 8-frame super around 53-55 pounds, illustrating the significant potential yield from a healthy hive.
Goal: Add an additional medium super to a strong, healthy hive for maximum honey production.
