An old saying claims August rain brings honey and wine. Rain helps vineyards by increasing grape quantity but may reduce wine quality. In dry years, late rain can save grape harvests. For bees, heavy August rain harms flowers and nectar, stopping bees from collecting honey. But moderate rain helps plants grow and extends flower blooming, giving bees more time to make honey. So, August rain can boost both honey and wine, though effects vary. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 10:47 IST; source: link)
