The length of the flow is not as important as the strength
of the flow.  Any beekeeper in Alberta Canada is good proof
of this, as many of them are not migratory, and they have
a "season" shorter than some vacations I have taken.

Since many larger US beekeepers are migratory, one can
ask "where do they go after they pollinate the almonds?"
Many go to the Dakotas, Iowa, and other places in the
"Great Plain" between the Mississippi and the Rockies.
