Hopefully we got some North GA folks in this section...and any others that know chime in!
I started some bee hives this year and I'm right on the North Forsyth/South Dawson line, so we have plenty around here for wildflower honey and Also garden and blackberries will provide good nectar flow. My grandparents have some land up around Blairsville...i would like to try and get some Sourwood honey or at least get them as much nectar as possible this year to keep drawing out comb...I've done some reading online but looking from the folks who are around every year as to when they are are in bloom? I've heard Mid June to Early July...How long does it normally run?
Thanks

) they usually start blooming in mid-late July. They stay bloomed for a few weeks. If you have black locust trees around, that locust honey is about as good as sourwood. They'll be blooming in a week or two.
