Thank you.

[@donbearden1953]

Good luck Randall. You’re really cutting back! Your harvest should be a lot easier on you.

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Thank you. This hard freeze we had last night will help with that too I am afraid.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I do my selections the same way. Thanks partner!

Difference between the north and south we get later start for 1 but we normally have plenty of time to split before the flow starts.. you should load them up bring them up here for June and July I've got plenty area sweet clover being the longest goes 9 weeks between yellow and white sweet clover.. you should get 200 to 300 lb a unit.. I did around 200 last summer but it was a dry summer.. July I lost little honey after basswood hit I should have pulled it. July till mid Aug is normally heavy flows

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Yall have those long days to in summer. Our flow is over here by late june.

You are serious about cutting back honey production/work. Fifteen production hives will be a breeze for you. If you build yourself a bunch of nucs to sell you could still make some good money. Did you get any frost yet this weekend?

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Exactly what I got in mind. We did get frost last night. Got down to 29. Supposed to get to 24 tonight.

[@michaelfike7542]

Would the ones sitting in the shade not be a little slower getting out because of the cooler weather.?

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

In the morning yes.
