>   how everyone's honey flow is progressing.


In NW Vermont/NE New York, I'm sitting on an incredible flow. It started
early...before Dandelion. The bees were filling supers...and
broodnests...on the second blooming willow...Salix bebbiana. Unheard of
here. The flow continued through Dandelion, Locust, Honeysuckle...best I've
ever seen from this...Brambles, and now into clovers. What a clover bloom!
The heat and humidity is really making the nectar flow. Most colonies have
3 mediums capped, with many having 4. I plan on starting harvest next week,
so I can have some empty supers to put back on for Basswood/Sweet
Clover...weeks earlier than normal.

Mike
