[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 11638, member: 71"] Ok, Your moniker, or whatever its called, states ChCh. Couldn't quite work it out, unless as said before a major flow in a hill suburb. You are in what would be classed as a microclimate and it could well be that there aren't a lot of hives in flying distance. Pride of Madeira is a light fine grained honey; part of the echium family. Dandelion, granulates quickly, so if its dandelion flow you will need to extract promptly. If the wax is bright yellow, this also indicates a dandelion flow. Currently you will need to leave plenty of room in the brood nest for the queen to lay. But be aware of a dearth in 2-3 wks time. I don't know what they will get in Church Bay later on. A long time since I have been there in summer. [/QUOTE]
