Season replay · Bowden, Alberta
Follow the bloom before planning a move.
Move through July, August and September to see how new observations could change the questions a beekeeper asks before sending a crew.
A mid-September report describes flowers across the farm. Before scheduling any pickup, the beekeeper still needs the grower's release decision and a check of the field entrance.
Step through what was known
Select an as-of date. Later reports stay hidden until the date they were published; this avoids using hindsight as if it were a prediction.
The evidence behind the replay
Our read-only research probe returned locally clear satellite observations near the public visitor area on July 29, August 18, August 28, September 17 and September 24. The gaps were 20, 10, 20 and 7 days. This does not trace the exact sunflower patches and does not classify flower stages.
The Weather Network's September 17 farm interview and photograph ↗ reported flowers across the farm and discussed staggered planting and frost risk. The image has a publication date, but no separately verified camera capture time. We link to the publisher's photograph rather than copying it onto this site.
For an earlier same-season perspective, a visitor review republished by Wanderlog ↗ says the visitor came on September 6 and saw one good section, part of it wilted. This is a lower-confidence, second-hand account; the difference from the September 17 interview may reflect different patches or changing conditions. It is not enough to reconstruct every day's bloom.
There is no dated photo series for every patch, no verified patch boundaries, and no grower release or entrance update in these public records. Those are the next inputs needed to turn a bloom outlook into a pickup plan.
