Iv'e tried to pull info up on the site but it all seems to be out dated. I would have thought that reports would have been comming in by this time of year.
I just collect the info folks post here
If folks don't post it, I can't add it to the database
what do you mean by outdated, you see stuff from last year, right?
what's blooming at your house?
I see nothing blooming here in the Azle area N.W. of Ft Worth. I just would have thought that info would have been coming in from futher south. I'm so looking forward to my 2nd year of bee keeping I'm just in a hurry for spring. How can you tell this years stuff from last years??
Bee Activity here today. Lots of pollen being brought in (Gray with a green tint) Was not able to find what it came off of Here in Northen, Central, TN with temp. at 72 degrees and sunny all day. Sure better then the below freezing point and high two to three degrees above freezing for the last week. Had one hive die
with a gal or so of dead bees. No Honey, Rest of them doing fine so far. Bees happy I”m happy, saw young brood with very few capped. Today. On 8 Feb 09. C dowdy.
since your post doesn't mention a specific bloom I'll enter it as "other" in the database, will do it next time I'm at my regular PC
weather sure was nice today wasn't it?
thanks for the data

Eucalyptus globulus (********) 11/22/08 (94589).
Eucalyptus sideroxylon (red iron bark) 12/15/08 (94589)
Rosemary never fully stops blooming, but real surge started 12/20/08 (94706)
Acacia 1/20/09 (94618)
ornamental plum 1/29/09 (94706)
globulus is strange. huge stands of it exist. in a many acre patch, there will be one or two trees in bloom at all times december to may, but they never bloom in synch.
