    I am, on a very small scale.  I found the bulk of it in my area and 
divided my hives in two towns to try to cover as much as I can with what I 
have.  If I have any harvest at all, it is already sold.  Last year it 
started blooming in the second week in August, it is just blooming now.  A 
little late.  It is raining hard, so I hope that helps.

    It looks like motor oil and it has a very distinct tang to it.
