Nectar flow defined: the amount of nectar produced by flora
Honey flow defined: the ability of the colony (size) to process the nectar to honey
Is this a correct definition. I get very confused when I hear people speaking of the "honey flow" and wonder about it. Please comment. Best of the best day. Cindi
Nectar flow is directly proportional to honey flow. Lots of nectar means lots of honey. The only item is it has to be nectar the honeybees like. You can have a nectar flow that is good for Bumblebees and Carpenterbees but honeybees don't care about doesn't help you much.

I wouldn't consider a nectar flow as distinctly different from a honey flow other than a honey flow is definitely producing a surplus and a nectar flow might just be maintaining the hive.
either way...they both sound like music to my ears :)!
