David;
        In Vermont here are some that I know of. Basswood, Maple, Red and sugar,
Black Cherry, poplar, Sumac, yellow birch, beach. Thats just about all I
know of. Sugar maple is the first provider of pollin followed by red then
poplar then the rest. The Black Locust is rare around here but there some
and the bees love them.
