Blake's Quick Tip: June Honey Production 🌻🐝

Blake Shook Quick Tips

Blake’s Quick Tip

In June, nectar flows are ending in some regions and still going strong in others. Understanding whether your flow is still active is important. When I go into my bee yard, I pull a frame of uncapped honey from one of my supers and place it about 20 feet from the hives. If bees begin robbing it after 10–15 minutes, I know the flow is nearly over. If they aren't interested, the flow is still going strong!
