Indiana Honey Crop Seen Even With Late Clover Yields
Robbers of honey indicate Indiana may produce a crop on par with the average this year, though some areas may run short. Dealers attribute the outcome to the clover yield, noting its primacy for bees and that last year’s poor clover depressed honey. They expect a fair clover season despite a late start, with bees kept through extra winter and spring hardships due to cold weather and a heavier reliance on sugar and molasses. Wild blooms have helped in parts, but clover remains the main honey source once it appears.
