Hello from central Mass.
« on: May 16, 2009, 09:20:01 am »
Entering my 2nd season of beekeeping, just discovered this forum.

I'd be interested to know whether others in this area have seen a good honey flow yet. Where do I find that sort of discussion?

thanks,

Thanks, Jim. That's helpful.
I thought it was getting started here-- until this crazy cold weather arrived.
