Hello out there. I have a few questions for you more experienced bee
keepers. My bees are continuing to draw comb and store honey even though the
large blackberry honey flow is now over. I can't figure out where the
current flow is comming from. Queen Annes Lace, Bachelors Button, Sweet
Pea, White Clover and Purple Thistle are each present in rather smallish
roadside quantity. Can anyone comment on the probability that any of these
plants are the source of the flow? I am also interested to know which you
all think are definately not the honey flow source. In addition, can anyone
suggest a good book that describes honey plants and their relative importance
in honey manufacture. I am particularly interested in a book that covers
Western plants well. (speak out western bee keepers) Thanks to everyone in
advance for your help.
