just passed through your area and the locust trees are in full bloom,so that may be it.remember they fly up to 3 miles so they may be working numerous different plants. bet that wind last few days has been hard on'em. good luck,mike

I think you're likely right about the trees. I never knew, before keeping bees, how much trees area pollen source. And not fruit trees. Though our apple and cherry trees had great blossoms this spring, I saw few honeybees on them. Also my blueberries likewise had bumblebees but no honeybees. So my goal to increase my pollination with the honeybees so far hasn't worked, but I guess they are helping pollinate something!

they work different plants at different times of the day too so its hard to tell for sure unless one plant has a really strong flow. trees are also are great nectar source. good luck,mike
