Ok, I'm in the middle of the drought area. 

Bees are in good shape, with plenty of extra stores going into winter and all bedded down. 41 hives amongst 3 yards, mix of suburbs, wildflower pastures, and soybean crop land.

Our typical early flow come from dandelion, maple, locust, and fruit trees. Main flow is from yellow and white clover, and wildflowers. Soybeans sometime produce some in july. Fall flow if we get one is from asters and goldenrod. 

What is going to be my best strategy to weather the drought?


Thanks,
