Nectar Flow (Forage Season)

The nectar flow refers to the availability of nectar and pollen sources for bees during the active season. It is divided into early flow (e.g., fruit blossom, rapeseed), main flow (e.g., linden, acacia), and late flow (e.g., heather). Local forage conditions are the primary factor determining a colony's honey yield.
