Hi,                                                                             
                                                                                
I'd be interested in this...soybeans are a major crop around here               
(memphis, tennessee area)...cotton can be a good honey crop under the           
right circumstances...it's a non-floral nectarine...it -oozes- nectar!          
(so do citrus trees)...the problem is all the insecticides that are put         
on it....there are some organic cotton growers though...and they are            
usually more co-operative.
