Hi Paul,,

I watched the video and saw more butterflies than honey bees.

Also, quite a few more bumble bees than honey bees.

Also, this was in August when corn pollen is beyond peak gathering.

Some type of bee hives are in the area or there would be no honey bees.

Since butterflies are migratory, they would be more notably in the farther 

northern range this time of the year. Alfalfa would be producing nectar 

at a good rate if weather was right. Thistle does produce nectar in Alabama

and honey bees visit often. Most farmers do not like thistle.
