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.

We have the Basswood Trees in New Liskeard Ontario they are beautiful.They where in bloom a week ago the fragrance from these trees are delightful.You could sit under these trees with lots of shade on a hot summer day.Once you smell the Basswood in bloom you will never forget it I just love these trees i will have to get some for my yard.
