There are too many unknowns for me to fill out the survey. I haven't kept record of sufficient detail.
Well, you can do your best guesstimate, but thanks for your honesty, Mark.

The Beeinformed is for everyone.

The Finger Lakes survey is for non-migratory; every entry helps to know what is going on in NY.

Thank you.
