Like Roy I also sell a lot of raw honey to people with allergies.

I was wondering since Ragweed does not produce nectar but does produce an
incredible quantity of pollen. Could the pollen be gathered (plastic bag over
the plant then shake the plants to dislodge the pollen) and added to a
quantity of honey and mixed in before bottling was to take place.

This honey could then be sold a a value added product (lets say $6.00 lb.)

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
