Low Nectar Flow

As my first year with bees, I'm not entirely sure what to expect, so Jim's blog has been invaluable. He's been expecting a strong nectar flow from pollen and basswood, but his latest blog post suggests that he's not seeing it yet either.

That would explain why my bees are making so little progress right now -- they're significantly slowed down as they have to draw out honeycomb before they can put nectar in it, but I've been expecting at least SOME faster progress when the local flowers start producing good quantities of nectar.
