Tipuana Tipu is flowering and so are the Mexican Treeferns - both minor species.
One of the teatees is flowering along the river - not sure which one.
The waterhousias are budding and they will give the hives a kick along again.
It has been mild here temperature wise - being late october. As a result you will find that the clover will continue flowering.
It has been dry but i can see some rain on the radar - stopps me from going to one of the yards to check on nuc's.
Indeed the next week is likley to bring some good rain and freshen things up. Not ideal weather for virgin queens to fly...

I'm behind wirh bottling/labelling and need to make up more supers too.

The are predicting some rain for the next few days.
We need it.
The Brushbox has just started to flower. With some rain we could get a good flow.
Also, I have seen the first of the waterhousias out.
And the White Clover in the orchard, under the Pecan Trees is still flowering.

Of course the rain is welcome.
Yet the rain, more of it is chaning what is flowering . Sure they bloom.
How many consecutive days of sunlight each plant require to flower, then creates pollen and nectar.
Books written in the 1960/1970 on what flowers in Queensland, areas around Queensland. Most of the trees are harder to find due to human progress around the suburb expansions.

Haven't been out much:
Racehorse tree is bloom - not good tasting honey.
Garlic has flowered (garden) but hmm nothing buzzing around.
Mint should of flowered (garden) but hmm
Salvia should of flowered (garden) but hmmm.
