They like my zucchini blossoms!

Yep, same here.

Pulled two full supers from the Golden West hive. They confirmed that I was not going to be able to wait until September to pull supers.

I put the 2/3 full top super back on and added an empty super.

The Sweet Clover bloom is still going strong. Seeing lots of bees on the Rocky Mountain Bee plants and the Sow thistle (ID by Google Lens although it doesn't look like a thistle to me).

The bees are on the goldenrod! We have a LOT of it. The bumble bees got there first, but now the girls are on it too.

I haven't seen any goldenrod since I left back east.

I thought our Goldenrod was done. Blueberry Field across the creek has exploded with it. This should get the last medium loaded and capped. I was going to bottle up what I had but decided to wait and bottle everything at the same time. Then get started on milling up a complete hive for next spring, also extending the honey room another 4 feet.
