Upper Midwest Nectar & Pollen Flow Calendar — A Beekeeper's Field Guide to Your Region's Bloom Season

Stop guessing when your bees' flow starts. This 11-page printable field guide maps the Upper Midwest's full bloom season — first flow, main flow, last flow, and the mid-summer dearth — verified against 3 seasons of real hive data on my own property.

Inside:

• Full flow calendar (first/main/last nectar & pollen, with dates)

• 40+ plants across wild & tree forage, crops, garden ornamentals, and ground covers

• "How to Read Your Own Land" — a method for tracking your own region, season after season

• Built from real beekeeping experience, not generic garden data

More regions coming soon — this is the first in a series covering beekeeping across the country.

Page illustrations created with AI image generation under my direction; all content, data, and stories are my own, drawn from real hive management on my 4.87-acre Michigan property.

Care for the Bees. Steward the Land.
