Title: Fall flow in Texas
Post by: johnwm73 on June 29, 2008, 05:46:08 PM
Just wondering from anyone if they know if Texas has a fall flow. I am located north of Dallas. This is my first year so I am trying to make sure I have them set up for a flow if there is one in the fall.

You bet.  Around here we get golden rod and asters.  Some years are better than others.  Like most flows, it largely depends on water.  We've been having a good year here, but I understand that west of Dallas is not getting the rains and is hurting.

Well I have been getting rains here and our lake is full. So maybe they will draw out some frames in the super. If for nothing else so I can store the comb for them to fill up next year.

They don't seem as interested in drawing wax in the fall for some reason, but they will draw it if they need it to store nectar.
