     Can honey bee nectar sources be discovered by watching plants on
which certain types of insects are found collecting?
     Hornets and wasps?
     Green Metallic bees?
     Leafcutting bees?
     Sulfur butterflies (Family Pieridae)?
     Soldier beetles (Family Cantharidae)?
So if you found a specific insect on a flower then it means that it would
be good for honey bees also.(possibly the same size/method of nectar
collecting, i.e. tongue)
