 i had a similar problem, someone on bee-l i think from australia posted 
about a plant ( i think it was privot or some thing like that) I did an 
archive search but cant find a reference to it. Any way the hives were 
fine until they started a flow from this plant, and were nasty until they 
used up all the honey in the hive. I googled privot and it doesn't give 
when it bloomes? but it was just before goldenrod in my area.
