We have a strange line in the sand this year, NW Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota are running 3-6 inches of precip above average. The SE portion of Mn and Western Wisconsin is 3-6 inches below average. I'm located on the drier side of the line and we're just finishing up with a boomer basswood crop averaging 60-80 pounds. Our mid summer Sweet Clover flow comes next into the 20 or so of July. Eastern North Dakota should see a potentially big year with ample moisture and reasonable temps in the upper 70's-80's in the long term outlook for the main honey flow during July. Last year the Dakota's burned up during a hot dry summer and many locations were a bust. ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
