I am hearing similar stories from many in this area (way upstate NY and
Western Massachusetts).



My bees are about as far upstate NY as you can go...on the Canada border
line. Colonies are packed with bees and honey going into the winter. Bees
began capping honey before Dandelion, and continued all summer. Best colony
average ever. Left the Goldenrod crop with the bees to winter on. Many are
50 pounds overweight. The bees seem more defensive than usual this
Fall...might be the SMR (sorry) bees I'm raising.
