Hi Merlyn,
We actually live way out in the country in the Beautiful Fingerlakes Region of upstate NY on a dirt road off a dirt road where I can't see my neighbors. Drive 500 miles round trip to the big apple to sell honey 35 weekends a year with my son and the hired man.
The beeks I know in NY are always stuggling with honey flows. They do have a good deal of Linden trees and along both the Hudson and East River there are plenty of forage. Lot's of parks but mostly mowed and sprayed. Our Town, Erin, is under 4000 as well. Lived in Denver awhile in the late 70's - love to visit the big city for a day but never be able live there again.
Have a great week
Joel
