     I was perusing the BEE-L archives for sources and varieties of
buckwheat to plant next spring as a honey source and came up with very
little info.  So far as I can tell the black-hulled or tartarian varieties
are the ones to plant vice the newer hybrid or silver-hulled varieties.  At
the risk of eliciting some hot responses could someone point me in the
proper direction for sources and varieties.  I have some land that is
currently in brush and weeds and would like to have it become productive in
some manner.  Also, isn't buckwheat a legume?
