If you are starting with a package of bees, then you should be happy if the bees only produce enough honey for themselves. This is good and par for the course. However, I always work my packages to produce honey for me my first year, and most do. My success comes from placing my packaged hives on drawn comb. In my opinion drawn comb is the beekeeper's third best friend! The hive tool is first, and a bee-vac is second. We now have one of our bee-vacs listed in our Ebay auctions. Obviously, a new package or nuc will have to build up their hive. This means they will need to produce a huge amount of new comb on the frames.
