Hi All
 
When I go to my bee yard I can tell what time of year it is.  The Golden
Rod is done and the weed type areas are white with Aster blooms.  The bees
must bee getting a bumper crop because I have to practically hold my nose
when I open a hive.  I am feeding as much corn syrup as they will take to
dilute the Aster honey to keep down crystallization.
 
I'm not complaining.  It's nice to have good strong colonies to gather such
a crop.  They should be rearing to go in spring.
