Does anyone have a good appreciation or data references on the honey 
potential of Cleome (spider plant)?  I've been watching the bees work 
it eagerly in my garden for both nectar and pollen.

Is it worth spreading Cleome along [little used] roadsides, patches 
of abondoned land etc.?  It's certainly very ornamental and it blooms 
over a long period from late summer till frost.  And it's a self-
seeding annual.

Thanks,
