We have talked about putting up a hive or two for a couple of years now, our concern is that there may not be adequate food here. We live on a prairie, there are a couple of cacti that bloom briefly regardless of the rainfall although more brings more blooms, and we have some native blue flax and a couple of other small plants that bloom, but we have been experiencing drought conditions the last few years so not as many blooms the last few years, both volunteers and planted. Last year we planted more catmint and a few other flowering plants bees are said to appreciate, but how would we determine whether there was enough here or near to keep them well fed?
