greetings from north florida

Near the coast one would think a bee's gross forage area (circumference) is cut in half by the presence of open ocean water; but it doesn't seem to affect my bees!

HP,
Welcome to the forum.
Are you trying to warn us beeks up here with that name or just your bees?  :-D
I do not exactly where you are but if you are any where near me, you are in the best location to have some forage almost year around. I put my bees at my farm near up against Okefenokee fores in the spring but keep them in town the rest of the year. This year has not been great but there is usually something to keep them busy.

yes the forage season is nearly year round.  hush, don't let anyone know how great it is to live in this part of the country.  except when the wind blows.  100mph winds, that is...

 100 mph is just a tropical storm

Andrew was near disaster. was close enough to help clean it up yet no strong winds.
