The black locust bloom is usually the moment when we really want to have supers out on the strong hives. Splits aren't ready to forage for surplus honey when locusts flower, but they can still provide a nice boost as the hives mature. At one location, there is pretty easy access to a couple of locust trees A more complete grove of these trees sits just across the road, and it's nice to know that the bees didn't have to fly too far to get some pretty significant nourishment between rains. It was a windy day when I took the picture of the bee yard, so the trees don't look quite as white in the picture as they appear in person during full bloom. Now the locust flowers are mostly fading after several days of blooming, but here is an image of their blossoms in their more pristine phase.
