It's axiomatic that beekeepers seldom agree on any given topic or technique. So imagine my surprise when I read:

> Twenty-five bee men of this and neighboring states were asked recently concerning the weather conditions that permit of nectar production. Without a single exception they answered "warm" or "hot", and almost without exception added "moist". One man considers rather dry weather preferable, while some mention electric storms and one south winds as desirable. Clear weather is preferred by two or three ; others make a distinction between plants, basswood and smartweed being said to demand cloudy weather, while clover and Spanish needle require clear.
