I would give anything to live in an area where they had honey crops anywhere near that in the picture!  :o I have never had more than 3 mediums on a hive in all my years of beekeeping (maybe 15 years).

They look like deeps to me also, and looks like a queen excluder on top of the second deep from the bottom. If the other 5 are full of honey, your looking at somewhere around 400 lbs of extracted honey. Jack

The photo is staged if the colonies was that big and with the brood open you would have more bees in the air and landing and taking off. As well where are the guard bees at the entrance.
