Populous honey bee colonies are usually reduced to single hive body at the beginning of the [[honey flow]] when one or more comb honey supers are added.  Comb honey can either be produced in wooden sections, shallow frames or Ross Rounds.  The successful production of comb honey requires that the hive remain crowded without inducing [[swarming (honey bee)|swarming]].  Young prolific queens help rapid colony population expansion with less likelihood of swarming. [[Caucasian honey bee]]s are often preferred for their tendency to keep a constricted brood nest and for their production of white wax cappings, making more attractive honey combs.
