>> Furthermore, huge honey crops were reported a hundred years ago.
Not necessarily because of the bees. Imagine keeping bees in a clover
area and the farmers not even starting hay harvest until the fourth of
July. That's thew way it was a hundred years ago here in the Champlain
valley. Cut a little, rake a little. Cut a little, rake a little. Now, I
have to move over on the road to allow the haybine to pass. The whole
farm gone in a couple days just after the Dandelion seed puffs are out.
And then again a month later and again a month later....and again about
frost time.
