Fall flow, hive weight day by day.
« on: September 09, 2019, 07:40:04 pm »
Very dry here in N Arkansas, I see very bee flowers, however the bees are still finding food, somewhere?  See pic of hive weight.  Over 100 pounds and gaining everyday.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

It would be interesting to see time of day on the X axis.

Mr. Ace I can touch the graph and time of day will appear.  What you see is a pic of the graph, not touch active.  I activated the X axis, took pic, looks like 8:00 AM hive loses weight.  At 8:00 AM, lots of field bees leave the hive, the scale is sensitive enough to weigh difference.
