Hi,
 
        I'm going to have my first hive this spring and I wanted an opinion...
 
        I'm keeping my bees at a friend's house here in the Scranton, PA
area. Her house is at the left end of a 10 acre field and there is nothing
except weeds for the next 8.5 acres (there's a little clover, some goldenrod
already there and she's going to plant a few apple and plum trees). I was
thinking of going to the local Agway and buying a bunch of different seeds
to toss out in the field, what varieties would keep a steady nectar flow
throughout the summer?
 
        Also, do you think I should ask permission before I do this? I'm
thinking simple, wild-type flowers/plants, not plowing the back 40 for a crop
of buckwheat or anything like that.
 
        Any ideas or comments welcomed. Email or post, doesn't matter.
