Hi Bob and all

Last winter I suffered my worst losses.  I blamed it, partially, on  
our early season last year where the July flow occurred in June so  
that my late May nucs had to be fed in July.  The golden rod flow,  
which usually occurs in mid-September, didn't happen at all.  No  
golden rod honey, no golden rod pollen as Bob says!
