Conditions For Successful Bee Keeping In Canada
The first requisite is the owner's interest to study and manage the bees, learn from books, journals, and neighbors. Abundant nectar sources near the apiary, especially Alsike and White Clover, produce most surplus honey. regional plants like Alfalfa and Fireweed also help. Weather greatly affects yields. a wet spring followed by warm bloom yields high honey, while continuous rain can yield little. Reports show variable yields by region and year. sugar prices rising stimulates honey demand.
