* In [[Dalsland]], Sweden, the most important nectar flow is usually in August and harvesting ends in mid-August.
* In [[Norrbotten]], Sweden, the time for harvest is in late July or early August.
* In southern Norway, the harvesting is done in two partsrounds; summer honey is harvested around mid-July. After that comes the heather honey, which is harvested separately .* In South-West Finland, the main honey yield is usually ready to be harvested at the end of July or even earlier.
The progress and timing of flowering can vary by several weeks from year to year. Spring flowers, for example, can bloom one month later in northern Scandinavia in comparison to southern Scandinavia. Moreover, the flowering season is shorter in the North than in the South. In any case, the main nectar flow takes place at approximately the same time just after the middle of the summer season.
'''Late summer'''<br />
If there is a strong flow of raspberry nectar in Dalsland, Sweden, honey harvesting will be done quite soon after Midsummer. But if the raspberry nectar is poor , harvesting will wait until the end of August or even the beginning of September.
