jim, it's in between.  on a scale of privet is real light, poplar is real dark and clover is in the middle.  sumac is the closer to clover that poplar but it has a brownish-amber color. all my honey comb is less than 2 years old and hasn't had brood in it.  i can tell the color of honey pretty easily with the caps on.

I've been holding off on the last honey rob until I see if the golden rod is gonna make. I haven't seen any blooming yet. The temps are still in the 90's here making inspections miserable enough without the bees being extra defensive due to a dearth. Hope we see a strong flow for fall. Luck to all.
Later,

Just came in to full bloom this last week in central Kentucky. To bad I am in an urban setting with little goldenrod in my girls scavenger radius. Go 5 or 6 miles out of town and fields and fields of yellow.

 Haven't seen any goldenrod blooming around here yet either... it's supposed to get to 95 today....just saw a lady from The Farmer's Almanac on the news, they are saying we will have a "supercold winter".

Ok, on 8/21/14 between Luverne and Troy, Alabama on US29 there are some good stands of goldenrod blooming.  That's about 50 miles south of Montgomery.  West of Luverne I haven't seen any blooming.

Just beginning to see goldenrod here.
Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy
