This hive was a 4 frame starter kit last year it made 47lbs of honey plus I left 70 lbs on for winter- I split the hive 4 weeks ago taking honey bees and capped bees for another hive.
Yesterday I checked them and I have 1 deep 2 medium supers 90% full of honey.
Nectar flow starts in May here but these super producers are way ahead.
60-70lbs on a deep box
35-40lbs on a medium box
Will pull at least 120 lbs in about a week
Then end of July end of September will harvest again
These are special bred Texas 5000
High producers and very docile
I suspect a lot of mesquite on this batch
It's an absolutely amazing hobby.

I have contemplated apiary, but it's is so windy and dry here, cold in winter, and there is not a lot of flowering vegetation around us (high desert grassland), I do not think bees would do well here.
I did hear a swarm go by on Thursday afternoon though, and, we have been visited by 2 swarms who paused on their journeys in the past.
Of we move, I will look at the idea again.
Sounds like you have very happy bees.😊

May I suggest a slim book called the 'Bee Pollen Bible' by Royden Brown.
30+yrs ago heard him on the radio talking about bees and their handiwork, and have been a honey devotee ever since.
He says the bee will range eleven miles from the hive in search of pollen, and the goodies that brings w/it. Honey is Miraculous. 👆

They find whatever is available
They go several miles away and back to the hive - also the wind does not affect them they cut right through it like it's not even blowing
You would think it would toss them but it does not

They don't 'fly' and we're about to find out the real truth about the Aether.
