Hello everyone, I was just thinking I was out in the yard yesterday cutting the grass in my front yard is completely covered covered and Clover. I realized a few years ago if not a little longer there were a lot of bees On many of the clovers. I realize out of the whole yard I may be only seem to be as per 4 ft.? so I was wondering are they less based on the UCB yeah what?s going on because I remember you said you had to be careful where you walk barefoot in the yard as you chanced getting stung.

On a Nother note are there any beekeepers on here that are in North Alabama?

DJ,
It probably means that you have something blooming that the bees like more than the clover.
I have an acre of clover around my house but the bees are hardly touching it, they are all over the Black Gum Trees. It sounds like ther is a swarm in every Black Gum Tree.

As long as you got bees in the hives you're fine.  Doesn't matter where they go as long as they know where to
go before the sunset.
