Laval (Québec), close to Montreal, latitude 45.4. I saw first dandelions on May 1st in grass receiving south sunshine. All hives (3 of them were on 1 box only) pass through winter. I only gave 500 mL of syrup sugar per hive in late March/early April since singles were very light. Then I hope to harvest a respectable (in term of quality) floral dandelion honey. Floral origin will be certified by pollen analysis. Hervé Yahoo! Mail : votre e-mail personnel et gratuit qui vous suit partout ! Créez votre Yahoo!
