THE HONEY FLOW IS ON!

Walking through the fields I see alsike, dutch, and sweet clover are in bloom.  Alfalfa has already undergone its first cutting.  So the bees are packing nectar away big time for the winter.  Of course there is always a wide variation in the honey gathering capabilities of different hives.

                             Overwintered Russian hive-5 super bodies and still going strong
                                                 Wish there were more like this one
                         This year's packages are just beginning to put honey into the 1st honey super
