June can be a difficult time for bees as they enter what is known as the ‘June Gap’. The majority of their sources of spring nectar and pollen are over and the summer plants are not yet flowering. The population of the hive will be nearing its highest point (50-60,000 bees!) in preparation for the summer nectar. The June Gap can depend a lot on the weather and the temperature. Some years there is no June gap as the brambles and clover start flowering early and other years it can last for three weeks. We will have to wait and see what will happen this year! It can always help to plant early June flowering species like these gorgeous alliums!
