I'm in Northern West Virginia(Pan handle) and we have had Goldenrod for about 2-3 weeks. I've been really scratching my head because I keep reading on this forum that it normally blooms in September/October. I've got some really good, light, almost clear honey on the supers now. Would you recommend harvesting that honey now and letting them build up for Winter on the goldenrod? I have had goldenrod honey before and it is tasty, but I'm imagining from it's color, that is is considered a lower grade honey? Thoughts??
Thanks!
Also, does anyone know about how long the goldenrod flow normally lasts?
Thanks!
