Nectar Gap (Forage Dearth)
A nectar gap is a period without sufficient nectar and pollen availability, typically occurring between early and summer flows in June. During this time, colonies may starve, reduce brood rearing, or resort to robbing. Beekeepers should know their local nectar gaps and feed or relocate if necessary.
