I tried a large patch of anise hysop and all it attracted was bumble bee's and other smaller bees, but not honey bees, perhaps there was a better nectar source for the honey bees elsewhere.         tom

Hi Abbas,

Off the top of my head I do not know anyone in particular who is growing
Anise Hyssop as a nectar plant for their bees.  The question rang some
bells, but I realized the presentation I was thinking of was Dr. Marion
Ellis presenting on lavender in France.  Perhaps it was a test patch at
Cornell University that I recall?  Or an article by George Ayers?
Again, bells are ringing, but not loudly.  Perhaps someone will
recollect better than I.

Aaron Morris - thinking tell a lie and your tongue will turn black!
