Just curious if anyone is starting to see a fall nectar flow in West Kentucky?    The Golden Rod has started to bloom but the weather is all over the place.    I was going to put honey supers back on but didn't know if now was the time.    I would rather them replenish the hive bodies for winter first then add honey tot he supers.

South central Indiana here [Greene County].    We have goldenrod blooming already.   Also the figwort has gone gangbusters this year - I've even seen the hummingbirds on it - and it's almost as full of bees as the locust is in the spring.   I've got a lot of sumac blooming, too.    That said, as soon as the white sweet clover was done, all the colonies contracted a bit.   I put 2:1 syrup on and they are taking it slowly despite the current flow.
