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.
The colors are the national forage map: every square kilometer of the lower 48, scored the same way. See the honey flow for your state and town, the best and worst spots we found, or how the scoring works.

Estimated forage here is better than about 95% of sites in Wyoming. Against other Wyoming sites it stands out most in spring (98th percentile) and lowest in fall (79th). Nearest mapped water: mapped stream or canal (may be dry in late summer), less than 0.1 mi away. 1 thing to watch (below).
Ranking
- Continental US: 54th percentile (spring 42nd, summer 70th, fall 93rd)
- Wyoming: 95th percentile (spring 98th, summer 89th, fall 79th)
- Wyoming Basin: 98th percentile (spring 99th, summer 96th, fall 93rd)
Percentile among 3,000 random land points across Wyoming, scored the same way; land in general, not beekeepers' yards.
Season
- First forage: Apr 1 — Dandelion, Clovers: white, alsike and red
- Main flow: May 1 to Aug 15 — Clovers: white, alsike and red, Dandelion, Garden flowers
- Fall flow: Sep 1 to Sep 30 — Garden flowers, Dandelion, Clovers: white, alsike and red
- Season ends: Oct 31
What the honey would be made of
- Spring honey (March to June): Dandelion, Clovers: white, alsike and red, Garden flowers, Black locust; light amber
- Summer honey (July and August): Clovers: white, alsike and red, Garden flowers, Dandelion, Summer-flowering shrubs; extra light amber
- Fall honey (September to November): Dandelion, Clovers: white, alsike and red, Garden flowers, Green/yellow rabbitbrush; light amber
- Whole season (March to November): Clovers: white, alsike and red, Dandelion, Garden flowers, Green/yellow rabbitbrush; light amber
Things to watch
- Heavily developed. About 66% of the land within a mile is developed. Less room for forage, and more neighbors near the hives.
- 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.
