Are you putting in an order for weather? I'd like several inches of rain followed by some temps in the low 80's.

I think the bees produce a lot when things are blooming and it's really hot. But they also work a lot harder. The nectar evaporates better. But do the bees like it? I don't think they think in those terms. The weather just is. They may think in terms of not liking it when they are cooped up and can't get out. At least it makes them grouchy, but when it's hot they are too busy to get grouchy.

Michael;
I wish we could send you some of the 10" of rain we have had so far this mo. now if we could have some hot days most of the flow is over but hoping for a good Golden rod for the girls to store for winter.
