July 2012: Mesquite and Creosote Bush, strong second bloom after good Summer rains, now Pigweed/Amaranth has joined the party -- providing pollen the bees seem to seek out.

Good rain has continued, which is usually followed by more nectar and pollen sources, probably by September.

Rabbit Brush started blooming this week. Started a week ago in upper elevations. A lot of people don't like Rabbit Brush Honey! Many beeks around here pull their supers off when the rabbit brush starts blooming. The bees sure love it, though

Thank you for the correction.
After reading about it I'm glad we didn't transplant any of it.
