My spouse would like to cover a very long stretch of chain-link fence with
confederate jasmine.  The fence is only meters from my bee hives.   This
plant blooms as the blackberries finish up and the tupelo and black gum are
coming up.  These latter, of course, provide excellent honey.  The question
is, Do bees visit confederate jasmine?  . . .and, if so, will the honey
taint my "mostly tupelo?"  Thanks so much for informed responses!
