As you know, at least on the mainland, we can potentialy have a honey 
flow at any time of the year.  We can also have flows that are pollen 
deficient.

So lack of pollen, working/disturbing hives/ removing honey in cold wet 
weather, leaving them in wet shady conditions in my autumn conditions 
etc.  In other words stress in one form or another.

Of course as someone else said- wait till we get varroa.
