HOT here in the Flatlands of IL
« on: June 10, 2017, 02:36:22 pm »
Low 90's forecast for next week

We need rain, too, been three weeks or more.

The colonies seem to be working something, though, moderately heavy traffic on all 7 in the back yard till about 2-3 pm, then it slacks off.

Sounds the same here, SK.  93 degrees or so here today.  We still have lots in bloom around here.  The Lindens, Elderberries, Oakleaf Hydrangeas, and privets plus others are blooming and the Golden Rain Trees just started.  It's interesting you said that there is heavy traffic until 2-3pm then it slacks off.  What ever they are working must quit producing good nectar about that time of day.  It would be interesting to know what it is.
