Hi everyone I am wondering about the relation betwen weather and polen/nectar production/secretion by the plants. Let for a moment suposse we have no humidity problems, and lets concentrate only in temperature. Is the nectar production of a plant directly related to temperature? Would the same applies to polen production by the same plant? I rise the question based on the observation of the hives during this season. I see certain plants that are in full bloom and visited by the bees, I can see the bees full of polen. Then I check in the hives next by and the same pollens are packed in the cells, but those hives are lacking nectar. Temperature had been under 20ºC. -- Juanse Barros J. APIZUR S.A.
