Hello Walter Weller:
There are a number of plants on which bees gather from nectories on stem or
foliage, e.g., Catalpa trees here in Ala., on the underside of leaf where it
joins its stem, and partridge pea;  bees do also work the blooms, but
without much enthusiasm..   I know nothing about larkspur being worked,
having not had these plants while keeping bees, and honeydew  (more like
August than now).
