Honey flow or swarming?

Post by Kurt Bower »

:?: I know that this weather is keeping the bees inside but I thought I would ask anyway.
Any signs of the honey flow or swarming?

:roll: Hey Kurt!
Good news! There are obvious signs of the honeyflow in the Peidmont Triad area. Went into some of my hives that I had supered up and the girls are already bringing in the good stuff.
Also heard from Emerson Heatherly that 1 swarm was reported in Greensboro this past weekend. Not sure who picked this one up, but maybe we can find out in May!

Well folks; I dont know about you but I am not having the best year. The honey just isnt coming in the way I think it should be. I am not seeing significant swarming tendencies and have only heard of about a half dozen swarms captured.
Let us know if you are experiencing otherwise.
