Exactly what nectar and pollen flows are we are missing as LC beekeepers? I
have read this claim by SC beekeepers quite a few times, but haven't read
any documentation that supports this statement with reference to specific
forage and pollen. When switching from LC to SC, what was the productivity gain
in yield per hive due to the increased forage and pollen availability?
