From NE OHIO sharpest county Ashtabula. I think we're doing fair, something's are about one month behind normal. Black berry, Dutch clover, treefoil and wild viburnum.
Stores are very good.
I'm in SW Ohio, and have seen a very strong flow in my immediate area. It looks to be tapering off a bit, but the basswood is just about to bloom.
I have a huge hardwood tree in the yard here, blooms great every few years.

Here in Zanesville the flow was very strong for about four weeks. It appears that the flow now is slowing as the bees are no longer pulling out foundation. I'd say we' ll be finished in the next week to ten days.
Andrew,

I had a good spring flow. I think it was more japanese honeysuckle than locust. Sweet clover has just started to bloom and the Linden/Basswood is not far behind. Typically, this coming up would be our major flow. With plenty of moisture it looks like there should be plenty of nectar to flow.
