Honey flow is a term used by beekeepers indicating that one or more major nectar sources are in bloom and the weather is favorable for bees to fly and collect the nectar in abundance. The northern or southern latitudes with its longer summer day time hours can be of considerable benefit for honey production. Flowers will bloom for longer hours, the time per day that bees can fly is extended, and therefore the number of trips per day can be higher. In addition, the upper latitudes do not have hot and dry periods in the summer where virtually all of the excess nectar flow dries up.
