Do you know your forage.
This is going to be my talk at our association.
It will be my first, I'll be selecting some of our most common that our honey bees forage on for nectar and pollen.
I've collected six specimens of pollen to show and I'm collecting data on when certain flowers produce nectar and at what temperature,also how long before they replenish there nectar .
If you have any true data to help in my presentation can you please pm me or post to this thread.
Also your thoughts most welcome as always.
Thanks
Mark..
