What a difference a few miles make!

Peter is located in Ithaca (where EAS 2002 will be held, early registration
deadline is this Friday, see http://www.eas2002.cornell.edu/)  whereas I'm
located near Saratoga (also upstate NY) about 3 1/2 hours drive east of
Ithaca.  Here the black locust flow started, but only lasted two days and
came to a quick end due to torrential downpours (2 tornadoes were spawned
from the storm as it moved into western Massachusetts), followed by two days
of high winds.  Bees are currently robbing because there's very little to be
found.  Yellow sweet clover is just starting and I suspect the bees will
settle down.
