[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1234484, member: 14661"] Bees are all about efficiency so when there is a major flow on they work it until it's done. When you place hives for pollination you wait for about ten percent bloom and then put the hives right next to it. The scout bees will find that bloom and they'll work there until it's over. If you place them to early and they scout out another source they'll work whichever source is better for THEM but either way they won't fly further than they have to to meet their needs. In the case of something like citrus honey about the only other nectar source that they'll still work during the citrus bloom is filleree and that is mostly done by citrus bloom most years and is still fantastic honey.
