FWIW downhere the season is still 3 to 4 weeks ahead ! Almost (4.5 kg/hive
with 3400 hives) no honey ... I will love to be able to asevere YET, but
you can never be sure with the Ulmo. Finger crossed that there is still
bloom after the rain. That this past 6 days with rain was irrigation which
will gives loads of nectar for the next 7 to 10 days before the first
frost. We need to give at least a day for the roads to dry before going to
inspect the hives, that will be next thrusday. Past observation was the 1st
of februrary when the bloom was on the base of the mountain and we finished
previous flow harvest with only 51 drums, grrrrr

But you know this is beekeeping, what we do is less than 30% of the
results. The other 70% Inshala !
