>>If anyone can explain our goldenrod situation we would love to hear 
it

We've taken out bees to goldenrod locations for the past 3-4 years.  
Goldenrod honey, it is said, does not crystalize easily.  We've seen 
our late summer honey with a tendency to crystalize pointing to other 
nectar sources.

Ample rains and soil conditions are said to affect goldenrod yield.  
It's best to have good, deep soils that retain moisture.
