Any Eastern Shore area beeks know (or can guesstimate) how much longer the flow will be? My very un-educated guess is about 3 weeks. Of my 4 hives that I was hoping on having a decent honey crop from, only 2 have just now started storing honey in the supers. I still have what I think to be considerable stores in the deeps and was wondering if it was normal for them to backfill while the flow was on and then move it above them when the flow starts to slow down?
In my area, the Catawba's just bloomed about 3 days ago, the elms should bloom in a day or two and the dog bane and milk weeds have yet to bloom. I haven't seen much activity on the clover either so something else must have their attention.
Thanks all.
