Just wondering if any of guys produce comb honey in the hot states, TX, AZ,NM. For some reason our bee's up here are refusing to draw out the thin surplus. It not just my bee's but everyones at least in my part of the state. I have a friend that is in a panic over this. He has orders for 3000 section and the bee's are not cooperating. I dont see alot of these so usually I do 6 or 7 supers. 3 weeks ago I finally resorted to splitting the brood nest with a comb honey super on a couple of strong colonies. I expected the next check one week later would have something going but I was wrong. 2nd week the same thing and finally the 3rd they had started working so I moved it to the top. The only thing that has changed for us is no rain and high temps kinda like you southern guys deal with every year
