HONEY FLOW IS ON!!!!!!

Although the fruit trees are done blooming other sources of pollen and nectar are kicking in.  Dutch clover and alsike clover are getting abundant.  Gerard reports the black locusts are starting to bloom in the Ripon area; unfortunately the black locust in my area are only beginning to leaf out.  The amount of nectar the black locust provides varies greatly year to year.  Let's hope this is a good year.

As you can see a large tree is a big multiplier in the amount of flowers per acre.
