lover has always grown spotty for me as it doesnt out grow the grass like
rimson...
Some clovers are reputed to be too long in the floret for honey bees' tongues. The wild white, Trifolium repens, is reputed to be the best.  I know that in the years after I started keeping bees on my allotment 33 years ago the clover in the pony paddock next door increased noticably. In effect, by pollination, the bees were creating their own pasture.
