The third generation, eighty year old, owner of the 30 acre orchard which 
is my main apiary site told me, when discussing how to keep my bees off 
the flowering rape (canola) when his apples were in flower, that placing a 
flowering spur off on apple trees across the hive entrance triggers the 
bees to work the apples.

However, as they are his apples, and I live several miles away, I've not 
tried this myself.
