Hi Yoon! Buckwheat is well known in Germany ( Buchweizen).Next spring I plan
to plant a bee pasture of 0,74 hectare- about 2 acres.
The objective is to create a perennial bee pasture but the seed blend will
also contain buckwheat ( an annual ) because it represses weeds and the land
has been badly neglected.Buckwheat also has a high nectar value - as high as
for Californian poppy ( phacelia ).Buckwheat is somewhat frost sensitive and
shouldn´t be planted too early.
PS what happened to your 30% oxalic acid - sprayed bees, are they still
alive?
Regards Derek Steed
