Aloha, I have two hive and harvested 6 gallons of honey
at the end of October from two deep boxes, one from each hive. Put the same boxes and foundations back on brood boxes then also placed two samll boxes, one on each. The smaller boxes and some of the founations were from old hives years ago, cleaned them up very well and So were the original harvest boxes that I got good honey from in October. Some foundations new, some old. It is now the end of April and there was no honey production in any of the boxes. One or two foundations with partial comb out of all four harvest boxes.
I have freinds who harvested big, hawaii can harvest most of the year. It was a wet winter for us all but still I
didn't get any honey. The brood boxes look normal and showed honey with normal in and out activity. Any ideas?
Old boxes????? Old foundations??? ??????? Leo |

| Is it possible that your hives could have swarmed? Not at all familiar with the season in Hawaii. Have they stored honey in the brood boxes? Conditions vary from area to area and from season to season. |
