Exactly what nectar and pollen flows are we are missing as LC  beekeepers?  I 
have read this claim by SC beekeepers quite a few  times, but haven't read 
any documentation that supports this statement  with reference to specific 
forage and pollen.  When switching from LC  to SC, what was the productivity gain 
in yield per hive due to the increased  forage and pollen availability?
