BASSWOOD TREES IN BLOOM

7/8/2012

The Basswood trees are in full bloom. If you have them in your area,check your honey supers often. In a good year,they are able to fill a super in 2-4 days. When walking the road or trails, you may smell the sweet smell of flowering basswood. Even if you don't have basswood around, we are having a major honey flow at this time--check often.

Hi Sandra,
I sure know what you mean about the wonderful smell of these trees.
Ours should start in the next couple of days.

Hello Bruce,
Bees love Basswood and the honey is wonderful--a hint of mint. Always variable, but around here they usually bloom for 1 1/2 weeks..
