In central Maryland, basically there is zero nectar yield after June 1 5th, whereas the Illinois clover nectar yield is strong in June and July, and beekeepers get a great goldenrod nectar yield in September in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hence, YOUR harvest time has NOTHING to do with harvests in other places, but is dependent on just what nectar crops provide you with surplus honey, because the bloom time is SO DIFFERENT. For years, many beekeepers have put supers on in the spring and waited until September or even October to remove them, of course, hoping that they would get a larger yield of honey by leaving supers in place longer. They made FOOLS of themselves due to lack of knowledge about beekeeping.
