Here in central NY. it has been slow due to rain until about last week, when
we got a break in the weather. Had lots of pollen and good nectar flow
mostly from sumacs. Bees were drawing comb and flying well. This week seems
to be little pollen but decent nectar flow. My bees are now working milkweed
and white clover . The weather has been up and down, mild days mid 70's, and
cool nights mid 50's. I've got 3 packages pretty well filling 2 deeps
started late april. 1 swarm filling 1deep and part of a second aquired from
another beekeeper in june ( 2 small swarms combined ) and a swarm I just
removed from a wall which I had to requeen. A fairly slow spring shaping up,
may be a good fall lots of golden rod growing tall.
