I had made myself a note on the calendar for this year to be sure and remember to put more supers either drawn or foundation on June 1 with excluders. I attributed it to clover blooming but have noticed we have sumac also starting. What other sources are you aware of from now to the dearth that usually follows? I can't prove it but I am just almost sure we see a light flow from soybeans if the weather cooperates. Our bees always do better in soybean years than corn years on our farm. I enjoy your videos.
I’m pretty much right in line with you. Clover is for sure responsible for part and a friend locally has his tested and sumac is near the top of the list. I’ve had some strictly on soybeans and made a little better than 1/2 a super from it. Makes me wonder if this is the new norm.
Another great video!! Thanks for sharing Troy!!
Thank you!!
Troy I live in north east Ky and sure hope to get a flow in June because I had very little in May.
Me too! We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
