It varys so much but generally black locust is about mid to late may then clover about the 1st part of june.
seems the first serious flow is about when all the fruit trees bloom,a lot of the wilflowers are busting out then too.
hoosierhiver - (Great name!) when is the approx DATE of Fruit Tree Blossom? And which trees-Cherry, Peach, Apple, Pear. Don't they all bloom at different times?
Thanx

all the fruits really come on within a few weeks of each other,end of march or early april. if the weather is foul,alot of blossoms don't last long and the flow is smaller.
for south central indiana apples bloom about the middle of april but if theres a frost or the weathers rainy you won't get much honey.
