Dee, how late into the night do your bees fly?

Reply:
Liked we have talked on other discussion groups in the
past, in the summer months when the cactus bloom,
especially the Sahuaro, or even pricky pear, even large
stands of cholla, on the full moon the bees will fly most
of the night. For when we used to move bees we'd be out at
1-2AM in the morning and they'd be out. so we learned to
move on the new moon instead when there'ed be a cut off
sort of. But large cactus flows here in desert where food
is scarce other times of the year.....well the bees get it
while they can it seems.....but then that would make sense.
