>>Trees may be different in that roots are deep and wild areas, where 
there is no cropping, may show no change same mineral content.

Many gardeners near the coasts collect seaweed for its rich mineral 
content and work it into their garden soil.

I have been doing it for about 2 years on a limited scale and my 
vegetables seem much tastier (and more resitant to insects and 
fungii).  I atribute it to the richer mineral content of my soil.

>>Back to bees and honey. What of modern studies of the mineral 
content of honey, selected for soil etc?

Honeydew honey is richer in mineral content than floral honey.  Eva 
Crane, for one, had some numbers.
