Possible, but our most dependable flow is in the late summer/ early fall.
And this colony was a dud all last summer--so who knows how they'll do?
Besides, I bought the two before I knew who and how many had survived. I
wanted to make sure I'd have at least two colonies, and a late spring cold
snap has deprived me of a colony more than once.
