Follow the bloom 2021
BeeMaster2:
Surprisingly, this week we had a few days with no nectar coming in. I brought home a cut out and the bees were all over the wax that I removed. Today the Chinese Tallow is in full bloom. I was expecting the palmetto to bee in bloom but I have not seen any blooming this year.

The Mesquite this spring are loaded with blooms.
The swarm I caught are going gangbusters.
FloridaGardener:
After a stormy week that ended the tallow tree flow and Vitex, the Sabal palms are sending out inflorescences. Looks like the windmill palms are almost fully blooming. Flight speed to and fro has picked up again.
And ugh, those supers are heavy. :cheesy:
Hasn't anyone figured out a way to put a 5 frame super on top of a 10 frame brood nest?
BeeMaster2:
FG,
I have 4-10 frame boxes on top of 2-8 frame boxes. Just place a piece of plastic cardboard, that everybody uses for signs, cut it so that it coves the area not covered by 5 frame box. The bees will seal up any leaks.
