Title: Sydney Rain Event- Any nectar or pollen
Post by: Biggles on February 21, 2020, 10:08:22 pm

Hi All
I am wondering if anyone is seeing nectar or pollen after the last rain event across Sydney?

I'm in the Northern Beaches & have been feeding pollen & syrup for the last couple of months.

I've never seen a season so lacking!

Cheers

Mark

The smell of honey around the hives this evening.

Hope it continues, but rain is forecast for the next few days.

Anyone in Sydney seeing anything?????

Melaleuca has started to flower.  Might be the saviour of the hives for winter.   :smile:
