        Does anyone know of research that has or is being done with the
integration of managed colonies of bees in the intensive grazing plan for
livestock.  I and a freind have placed some hives on some property which
is managed in this way.  The feild mix consists of cool/warm weather
grasses as well as white dutch clover, red clover, alfalfa, ladino etc.
Obviously the pollination is improved. The farmer wanted to know of the
significance of reseeding of forage plants, especially since there
appear to be fewer and fewer feral colonies. He likes to experiment with
these things and wondered if there is any information available.
 
                Thanks to any and all,
                        Maynard.
