Waiting on honey flow to start
by john speckman on 05/16/12Sure don't understand mother nature... yellow sweet clover has been blooming for at least 7-10 days, and the bees have yet to gather any surplus in supers... Have looked at all the yards last week and this week, and started feeding again, as the bees have so much brood(young bees), that they are eating up anything they are bringing in, just staying even... don't want any of the young colonies to starve. so feed, feed, and feed some more... sure the honey flow will be started by weekend, with the warmer weather, and cooler nights, this usually get's the nectar flowing..... stay tuned for more reports....
