Bee forage check

How good is this spot for honey bees?

Enter an address or tap the map. You'll see which bee plants and crops are within flight range (about 3.7 miles, with nearer land counting more), when the honey flow comes and when there's a dearth, nearby water, a few things worth checking, and how the spot ranks against random sites in your state and across the country.

Or tap the map. We don't store your address or exact location.

Estimated forage here is better than about 93% of sites in Wyoming. Against other Wyoming sites it stands out most in summer (96th percentile) and lowest in fall (32nd). Nearest mapped water: mapped stream or canal (may be dry in late summer), less than 0.1 mi away.

Ranking

Continental US: 49th percentile (spring 23rd, summer 76th, fall 80th)
Wyoming: 93rd percentile (spring 74th, summer 96th, fall 32nd)
Southern Rockies: 77th percentile (spring 66th, summer 78th, fall 66th)

Percentile among 3,000 random land points across Wyoming, scored the same way; land in general, not beekeepers' yards.

Things to watch

Flood map not checked. FEMA's flood map service didn't answer. Check it directly.

An estimate from public maps (USDA crop maps 2021-2025 averaged, LANDFIRE vegetation), not a survey of the ground. Maps can't see garden plantings, understory density, other beekeepers' hives, or this year's weather. Honey composition is a nectar-source estimate, not a pollen analysis. Benchmark 2026.5.
