New South Wales Nectar Flow & Bee Forage Calendar

New South Wales: Your Beekeeping Year
Most of these flows are eucalypts, and most eucalypts flower heavily only every second to fourth year. A month shown as a flow is one where some district usually has one, not a promise for your yard. The bud on the trees a season ahead is the better forecast.
The fall flow mostly builds their own winter stores, not a harvest to bank on. If a hive is light going into winter, feed 2:1 syrup while it is still warm enough for them to take it.
