This is more for beeks that have had bees for several years, but it might be of interest to new beeks too. My bees seem to be at least 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule compared to last year. This also goes for what's blooming. An example is that the wild blackberries are in full bloom now. They typically bloom in late May. I was wondering if it was just my area or is it all over the country.
Hammer down in north central Florida. Been that way for the past two months. I'm thinking I'm going to have to split some again.
I am a little behind due to new virgin queen they made but cool to see it play out
Central fl
Two to three weeks ahead here as well.
one to two months, I had drone buildup start in February! Dang main flow is starting 6 weeks earlier than usual. Going to have to remove frames of honey to make room, can't stack much higher on one hive. (of course it needs capped first)
But that means the dearth will be longer this year........................... :angry:

That's what I'm afraid of as well.
