G. M. Doolittle writes from Borodino, NY -- in 1882: >I believe I know from what my bees get pollen of the various colors Peter writes: >["pople", or "popple", is poplar -- includes aspen. Our writer >certainly is a careful observer! pb] G.M. Doolittle is my favorite beekeeper/author. If you get a chance to read "Gleanings in Bee Culture" from the 1880's and 1890's, his columns..."Conversations with Doolittle"...are great reading. Mike
