I am not sure where my bees are finding honey, but they are.  I assume it is 
alfalfa and canola, but I am not home to see.

After Charley posted about his scale hive, I realized that I have a large 
scale that has been just sitting around.  Not high-tech like Charley's, but 
pretty good just the same.  It holds four hives (and they just happen to be 
styrofoam).
