Here in the Bastrop area we had a 34, 000 acre forest fire 2.5 years ago. Took out virtually all the oaks and pines. Now the fire area is coming back with brush and wildflowers everywhere. I think we are seeing a lot of plants that were suppressed for years by the old growth trees.
I am hopeful this will result in a much longer and productive nectar flow. Does anyone have any experience with this situation? What should I, as a new beekeeper, do to be ready?
