Member. When I sell this house and move a little further in the countryside in a year or so, I am going to plant Lindon trees, Southwood, maple, and other nectar trees for a ling succession of honeyflow. I am on the souther edge of sour wood.
Ben. Last year was year 1 for my caught swarm. If I remember right, the summer and fall showed a lot of half frames of uncapped nectar also. The bees have 5 or 6 frames of open nectar. Only one of them heavy. The other 4-5 frames are rather light frames with a dab of nectar in each cell.
