Southern Hemisphere: Some bluegums are flowering now which enables bees to survive the bitter cold evenings and mornings we are experiencing.
Soon the Aloes will be flowering, if not already, which make our bees extremely agressive however they increase in population vastly and grow on the aloe pollen and nectar flows tremendously.
Do not harvest any honey from your colonies from now on.
Northern Hemisphere keep colonies going with the nectar flows by moving your bees to seasonal crops and orchards that flower in the spring and summer periods.
.
Warm sunny days promote above average work time for bees to harvest pollen and nectar! Especially with longer days providing much pollination on crops and orchards that provide fruit and staple foods!
