It seems that pollen flows just don’t get the respect that a good honey flow does, do they? And you’ve got to wonder why?
In today’s episode, Kim and Jim take a kind of long look at pollen flows, trying to figure out how to tell there’s a pollen flow going on in the first place. It’s easy to see when a honey flow is going strong, but is a pollen flow?
Bees don’t store much pollen compared to honey, and the way it’s stored it’s kind of hard to tell if it’s pollen, or bee bread, or honey.
Find out what you should know about pollen flows and your bees. Without the pollen flows you have, you won’t have the bees you have.
