[QUOTE="Wildbee, post: 13074, member: 500"] Honey flows of nz As a semi comercial beekeeper in canterbury trying to survive in the current beekeeping climate it has me thinking of how much more honey can a beehive make if the right honey flows are targeted. Here in canterbury our flows aren't huge when i compare our yields to across the ditch in australia. Im sure we could make a living off 190kg hive yields but 25kg is hardly worth the effort unless you can keep costs super lean. I wanted to start this thread and hear what honey crops other beekeepers are chasing and have success in. Here in canterbury our spring flow is good but at best you might make abox off a combination of dandelion, willows and a few other short flowering sources but this carries our hives through to the main flow which is clover and blackberry where we might finish up with 2-3 full depth boxes for the season.
