I tell ya it is one of the most important bee plants around here. I would be hard pressed to say if it is Goldenrod or Dutch Clover that takes the top spot.PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-42973262089768433012015-09-19T22:01:33.271-04:002015-09-19T22:01:33.271-04:00How exciting!

There seems to be a long bloom period for all of it to catch up that gives the bees a couple of weeks forage time on it.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-60117912706064002202015-09-19T08:39:36.165-04:002015-09-19T08:39:36.165-04:00DH - I have noticed that the late Summer Allergies...DH - I have noticed that the late Summer Allergies seem to cause more headaches than the earlier ones. My son get's them and so do I which is one reason I originally started keeping bees. I get headaches worse when the nights start getting cool again.<br /><br />I have noticed some states seem to have less bee die offs than others.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-61011007435277193872015-09-19T08:14:13.544-04:002015-09-19T08:14:13.544-04:00That is very exciting, wonder how much honey you w...That is very exciting, wonder how much honey you will get.
