Originally posted by Teallaura View PostIs harvest before winter the norm?
In this area the nectar flow, when honey is actually made, runs from the bloom of the Dutch White Clover - about the end of the first week in June - through the end of July.
Before that the hive will build up on the trees, notably the willows, followed by Dandelions. The smaller winter cluster used the nectar and pollen from these early sources to feed the babies who will be the larger harvest season population. After the end of July there are still lots of things blooming and stores come in, but at a slower rate than they are being used. So I take the honey and feed back sugar syrup for them to make up winter stores.
Does that cover it? More than you wanted to know?Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

That covered it - I knew bee keepers encouraged bees to produce more than they could use themselves but I wasn't sure if they harvested before winter, when the bees start using their stores, or in spring, with whatever is left over.
