Hi all !

give the old story ...
> A Swarm in May is worth a load of hay.
> A Swarm in June is worth a silver spoon.
> A Swarm in July isn't worth a fly.
We have the same saying in french :
Essaim de Mai, Vache a Lait (A Swarm in May, a Milking Cow)
Don't forget this is an old-fashioned one ! The time of skeps and log
hives without any manipulating possibility and without any sugar !
And on the old continent without the flowers of the Canada prairie !
(Hello Allen, I come back from vacation and I'll send you sthg about JZBZ)
Here most of the honey flows are finished at the end of July. An
early swarm may produce a real annual crop; a late one will not be
able to get enough stores to winter.
Cheers
Jean-Marie
