Apparently they put cigarette filters up their noses to stop the bees crawling up there. Yuk!

Why only 1 brood & 2 supers.
One year I had a colony on a double brood with 5 supers.
When I extracted I had 90lbs of honey so a total weight of about 100kg to 120kg.
Make it strong, the last thing you want is it tipping over & spilling its contents.

I'm jealous

---no chance of ever getting that much honey here the main flow isn't while July--but what we get is very nice.
