I was told this by a migratory beekeeper (over 40 years in the business) who was speaking, I think, of the nectar yield and not directly about the bees foraging. I guess that I am inquiring mainly because the dutch clover has been blooming profusely here in central IL since spring began and now still in August, and I have yet to see the intense foraging that I expected. The full moon was amazing the last two nights and I was hopeful. The same beekeeper told me that it seems that honey bees really carry in the nectar from sweet clover when it seems to be drying up. Should I dismiss both comments?I have never paid close attention to take note, but I never noticed that and it seems doubtful, but not impossible. It controls the tides and the plants may respond differently. Unless you bought some "moonbeams" from Russell Apiaries I wouldn't expect them to forage any more or less...
