I planted Buckwheat last year and the bees worked it and made dark
honey. This year I have the exact same Buckwheat growing in the same
field and the bees are ignoring it and making green loosestrife honey.
The reason may be that this year is hotter and much drier, and the
loosestrife is growing in lowlands where it still has moisture.
