I think I got some good news

[Yankee11]

While taking the inspector to my yards Monday we were coming up on the Sunflower Yard. We were passing a stand of trees that are in a stand of water. We were 1 mile from my hives. This stand of trees is a huge stand of Tupelo trees. I did not have hives here in the spring last year, didn't bring them to this yard until July.

I think they start blooming in April. So spring Tupelo then summer sunflower. Think I'll add more hives to this yard.

The big curve of threes is the Tupelo stand. It's several miles long.

Wow, looks like that is where the rainbow ends.  Why so many Tupelos in that area?  Somebody plant them all or are they just the most likely thing to grow along a stream or swamp down there? 

I don’t recall ever seeing a tupelo up here, but I’ve seen them in Ohio.

He said they grow in bottoms/swamp areas around here.  No one planted them, natural stand.

I drive past them all the time going between the 2 out yards and had no idea.

Now Im thinking about loading up some of my strongest hives and taking to this yard next week.
