GRs are not like the mustard. Their blooming time is short. My showy GRs only bloomed for 2 and a half weeks then they
stop blooming after all the flowers had opened . Only a small blooming patch is there now and not a significant flow. My bees move
on to the winter blooming wild mustard now.
Im sure that you are giving an accurate account and may be minium blooming season in your area. David at barnyard bees, a day or two ago, put up a video titled.
Honey Bee Winter Food Goldenrod & Pollen
He is in North Georgia I am in North Mississippi. I havn't checked the zone difference, but I am thinging we are most likely in the same zone. Our Godenrod started here in September and Its now November. It frosted here where I live Oct 21, I thought that was the end but as I took a closer look, after watching Davids video, we do still have a small amount still active GR here at my location. Nothing like what David showed in his video, but still some here. Apparently the frost wasn't heavy enough to kill it all.
Thanks for the update Mr. Beepro.

PS Im wondering what is going on for folks futher south like ed/La in South Louisiana
