Mr. Paul O'Brien:

Yes. In our area, we use the number of supers to determine how much honey will come into a beehive.

In the west, we are still getting two or three supers per hive when we get the right summer weather as we had last year. Mr. Walsh, for example, is down the other end of the country and he might have had five or six supers per beehive years ago but he is barely getting two now.
