The Nectar Flow

I think tight now we are in peak honey flow. Summer flowers are coming out more and more. I saw spotted knapweed blooming on Hwy 36 today. The white sweet clover has about another week left in it then it should start to wane.
The nectar flow is really hitting on all cylinders. I can only say, stay ahead of the bees and keep stacking on supers.
