Practically zero thus far
I just look at how many bees are coming home with nectar and stand under trees to see if they are humming
Forecast for Ceredigion for next days 13-14C. Not much humming.
Is it experience that tells people which trees are giving a nectar flow? I ask because I have dozens and dozens are huge horse chestnut in flower around me and I would love to know if it is yielding any nectar. I am only seeing a very small amount of its red pollen coming in but im not sure that is much of a clue.
13 to 14 degrees with sunshine, bees will fly and gather nectar from rape. it's all we have had here in weeks, two supers on some.

I only base my opinion on the supers I am extracting and the weather which we have had. Cold easterly winds temps about 12. as said if soil is moist it will yield at , low temps, and it's moist here underneath.
